The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report for October shows remarkable job gains of +165,000 with revisions to August and September +84,000 higher than previously reported. [BLS Data Here]

Employment in professional and business services increased by 70,000 in October along with an upward trend in professional, scientific, and technical services (+33,000), in administrative and support and waste management and remediation services (+28,000), and in management of companies and enterprises (+9,000).

Health care added 42,000 jobs in October; transportation and warehousing added 25,000 jobs. Manufacturing employment continued to trend up in October (+19,000) and has increased by 101,000 since December 2025. Job gains occurred in computer and electronic product manufacturing (+7,000), machinery manufacturing (+4,000), and primary metal manufacturing (+4,000).

(MSM) – “Demand for labor is skyrocketing,” Kevin Hassett, director of President Trump’s National Economic Council, said in an interview, noting that not only was the jobs report strong, but initial jobless claims are also at their lowest since World War II, and more people are leaving their jobs because they have higher confidence in finding a new one.

The economy added 165,000 jobs in October, compared with expectations of around 70,000, as the unemployment rate edged down to 4.1%, compared with expectations of 4.2%. (more)

One of the aspects within the numbers that most media will intentionally overlook, is that manufacturing job gains are exceptional in the sectors of manufacturing with the highest import tariff rates.

As noted in the graph below, those sectors with strong tariff protections are the sectors with the highest rates of employment gains. This is a data outcome showing how tariffs help to reshore manufacturing and reverse the trend of manufacturing job losses. Yes congress, MAGAnomics reverses the Rustbelt.

The psyop they use to create the opposite impression is not that sophisticated. Drive time top of the hour news, used to be AP, now ABC, even worse; and continuous feed on computers of MSN curated by adolescents9it's actually better at this hour than I've ever seen it... oh, yeah the election is over)

Srecifically, Ossoff, who’ll be running as one of the Trotskyites in the primaries.He’ll be trying to claim credit for the $40 b Audi plant in GA, I suppose Audi might renege without the stick of the tariffs. He’d best point to Ossoff and tell him not to let that happen.

“ Many are fake job listings”
******************************

No, dufus, these are ACTUAL JOBS GAINED. But don’t let that fact slow you down….now skitter back to your TDS jihad.

It’s interesting that the bureaucracy waits until after the election to retroactively revise upward earlier job gains reported. Same ol’, same ol’.

Businesses generally do. Many times they claim all these open positions yet never fill them for many reasons and lets not forget the Dept of Labor as under Biden many listings were claimed but the numbers were doctored.

Both political parties only care for two things: Replacing White Americans with 3rd worlders
and sending American jobs overseas.

Sad.

It takes some time for the growth oriented policies of Trump to kick in.

It’s not an over night thing.

And just in time for Audi to move to the US, and Musk to Texas, everything is going to get mucked up by our tree hugging , diversity minded, green powered friends.

Not at all Mister “Fake job listings”. The Republican base voters didn’t show up. I’m guessing that things such as “vote for us and we’ll send you $5,000” aren’t seen as positive to them.

I think the trotskites will like to take credit for them enough that Trump will be able to triangulate,as his on;y concern is and has been the good of the American people. it will be the Leneinisys who who will cause the 401 k’s Trump’s been bragging about all fall to go into the dumps , that’s why I think Trump’s got to call out both sides aggressively, to accentuate the tensions between the wings. I have an early bet for Dem ticket, AOC/ Adam Hamilton 2nd bet Ossoff/AOC
