The irony is that for all the Administration's insistence that we're in a rip-roaring economy, it's the weakening jobs outlook that will push the Fed to make cuts starting this month.

Unemployment just set a 4 year high, and we lost manufacturing jobs.

With all this “hiring slowdown” and “high unemployment”, it appears as though we can start sending those expensive “slave laborers” and their extended families back home. We don’t need them anymore.

I’m wondering if after a little short term pain (due to the uncertainty related to the tariffs), the manufacturing jobs will come back again with that more gusto (I know being an optimist is frowned upon here).

The Biden admin had 4 miserable years to ruin the US economy and they certainly did that. Trump has been in for only 7 months and he is expected to have it all running great.

It took Reagan quite a while to repair the Carter years damage and it wasn’t as severe as it is now.

Maybe it can’t be fixed. The other side doesn’t want it fixed.

Maybe voting can no longer repair the mess. You have to all want it and stop the sabotage.

labor market weakening and likely keeping the Federal Reserve on track for a widely anticipated interest rate cut later this month.

Too late, economy is pretty weak and it needs a rate cut.

Folks, do yourselves a favor and go to the source...

https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm

As for why Derp State is having a cow...

“Federal government employment continued to decline in August (-15,000) and is down by 97,000
since reaching a peak in January. “

But since social services hiring is up by a similar that amount, looks like state and local governments may be going on a hiring spree...

With 1.5 million illegal aliens leaving the country so far, and leaving the labor market, of course payroll numbers will be depressed.

Duh. It’s the unofficial end of summer. Kids go back to school.

4th quarter normally isn’t a hiring period other than the short term, part time seasonal work.

4.3% isn’t high. Economically, 4% is called full employment.
