Trump Produces Another Abysmal Jobs Report

Saturday, September 06, 2025

Employers added only 22,000 jobs in August, and the unemployment rate rose slightly to 4.3 percent. Revised data also showed that employment fell by 13,000 jobs in June, the first net loss since December 2020.

The release of a second consecutive poor jobs report on Friday confirmed the reality that President Trump has been trying to avoid. The labor market is stalling -- and the nation is facing real strains -- under the weight of his economic agenda.

This kind of reality is going to super-charge Trump's dictatorial moves.

He's running out of time and knows it.

He needs total control before he is revealed to the entire world as being an incompetent little sh--.

"Revised data also showed that employment fell by 13,000 jobs in June, the first net loss since December 2020."

There's going to be a few more unemployed people after this report as Trump won't stand for the government releasing any information that portrays him in a less than bright light.

As usual, the GOP inherits a decent or good economy and wrecks it because they have absolutely no idea what they're doing economically.

Their ideas have been a failure and stale for at least two decades.

The tragedy is that I'm not sure this time is the same old incompetence but is, rather, an intentional reset to gain more favorable economic terms for the wealthy.

And I'm sure this will almost certainly be reduced in the coming months...no?

Yeah they panicked when they realized it, too.

The website crashed suddenly when the report was due.

Trump's economic guru Kevin Hassett is expecting those crappy numbers to "revise up" (www.cnbc.com).
Of course he is.

When Hassett was asked if he was concerned about a sluggish hiring rate, he responded with a personal anecdote.

"Members of my family have been hired," he said.

"Both of them started their new jobs about a week ago. And so you are seeing that people are being hired."

Not a clue.

Incel Scatberg said that hiring was going to skyrocket under the bankruptcy-prone nonce. What gives?
