The govt shutdown made a mess of the economic data surveying and statistical analysis generally needed for accurate snapshots of the economy. However, the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) was able to release the September jobs report data {SEE BLS REPORT HERE}.
The geopolitical trade reset continues delivering domestic economic fluctuations, as each sector and specific international dependency reacts to President Trump’s shifts and turns in targeted economic policy. The September jobs report caught the economic pundits off-guard, as it showed a much bigger gain in jobs than they expected.
As noted by MSM, “The US added 119,000 jobs in September, far more than the 53,000 economists expected, and unemployment unexpectedly increased to 4.4% from 4.3%.” President Trump’s immigration enforcement continues to capture and remove illegal alien workers from the U.S. economy. This is also driving up domestic wages.

Well, English is my second language. I reread it about three times and realized my error. Sorry.
When the price of beef goes down, I will know Trumps “affordability” policy
is working.
So if the ranchers are getting screwed, and the consumer is getting screwed, what happens in the middle with the illegal labor, slaughter and distribution groups? Antitrust? Semi-monopolies? Little competition? Or just outright high expenses?
Thanks. I followed the link, then watched the video. Bessent presents very well.
In truth, we are asking a lot if we want results in year one. I am encouraged by the positive changes that have taken place and expect more positive changes in the future. Bessent is positive about 2026.
Trump is not just stepping on the gas. Monetary or fiscal policy can be used to step on the gas. It gives a short-term lift but then proves to be inflationary.
Trump has changed regulations and tariff policy so as to change the direction we are heading. Laying off government workers and illegals and increasing private employment of American workers takes time. (What are state and local governments doing?).
Increasing domestic energy production is great as I don’t fear CO2. (How about a new refinery?).
I can’t keep track of digital currency; it’s over my head. What’s going on with BRICS efforts to get off the dollar?
Education reform can be started now but may take a generation to fully play out.
I am not sure what to make of this.
My personal observation is that people are being laid off from high-paying jobs and being hired for low-paying jobs.
People who have not worked in quite some time are getting hired.
The number of fake job postings is down. If a job is advertised, it seems more likely that somebody will actually be hired for that job.
There are still in excess of 100 applicants for any job that appears to pay upper income salaries. Recruiters are still bitching about the poor quality of the applicants. I still have no sympathy for recruiters.
My sample size is very small. It is too early for me to be certain of any trends.
Many people are failing to adjust to the new economy. Today’s conditions are the best opportunity ever to WORK FOR YOURSELF. Computers and AI multiply you into a work force equal to many people. There are 30 year old millionaires out there who have figured this out.
Working for someone else is the road to mediocrity. Here’s why: You can never be paid 100% of what you are worth by yourself. That’s because your employer HAS TO MAKE A PROFIT OFF YOU after paying you.
Absolutely!
Bessent is a Soros employee who made his millions crashing the Pound with Soros. He’s a mentally unstable poofter who punched Elon for pointing out good BS. He and his husband bought two kids.
Blows my mind that he’s some kinds of hero now
Yeah…. Mr blue collar. Importing the H1Bs because Americans don’t have skills, bringing in another 600k Chinamen, his fix to housing is 50 year mortgage, health insurance and electric rates are through the roof. But he can’t touch that because he AI billionaire buddies want the electricity and want to bit up all the houses.
This is poll driven DC gaslighting of MAGa
