The BLS, an agency of the U.S. Department of Labor, produces the monthly jobs report.

Corporations will know if they are or aren't making money.

They discriminate against MAGA.

Trump is about only his image. If the American people don’t know that’s all that matters

"making money" is a lagging indicator. You made money or not in the previous month or quarter.

Labour statistics are used for planning. Should they increase hiring on a rising economy? Before the labour market gets tighter and harder to source from?

Or should they hold back or even trim, on signals of a weakening economy, to get ahead of competitors.

Business depends on government statistics. Eliminating the BLS would turn Business against tRump same way eliminating the independence of the Federal Reserve would.

How will they survive that?

Will the convicted pedo taco eliminate the tariffs once they'll be on the brink of filing for bankruptcy?

They will survive.

GM and Chrysler have filed for bankruptcy before and survived. Knowing history helps maintain perspective. I recommend it.

bail them out (and the big "too big to fail" criminal banksters as well) with the US taxpayers credit card, not by taxing the obscenely rich oligarchs and corporations who use the loopholes in order to avoid paying their fair share (which should be the same they were under LBJ).

If by antagonizing the rest of the world the pedofelon and his sycophants do, the dollar collapses due to their mismanagement, Canada has to diversify (should have been done before) and is actively seeking other partners.

the tsf.

Terrible jobs report. -185,000 including prior period adjustments is brutal.

That's the real number, this may also mean that come September, July might show a net zero the way these numbers are kept.

The upper classes use the desperation as a buying opportunity.

I figured the 💩 would hit the fan by this summer. I was off by quite a few months I guess. In my defense, I’m not a trained economist. But neither is the current POTUS.

My adjusted forecast is for pitchforks, torches and pikes to be in high demand by Christmas.

Want to wager a 6 pack that a majority of Trump voters DO NOT have at least $150,000 in a high yield savings account, Pensions, Social Security, plus Retirement Investment accounts to offset job losses and inflation?

I am not bragging, but my late husband planned for this starting in 1980. He KNEW that under TACO Don the first time required him to up the several retirement investment accounts and move money around to be safer when the Stock Market plunged during COVID. Our spending habits adjusted greatly to make sure after the 2020 election, we would be okay. When we sold our house in 2023, the Capital gains were immediately invested into 3 separate high Yield CD accounts to create even more liquid cash for later use. Those CD accounts have matured after 18 months and are now into a high yield Savings account and I put in another $10K to get an additional 4% interest a month. That is all in addition to his pensions from IBM, the US Military, a small manufacturing company he worked for for 10 years, as well as Social Security.

I doubt the average MAGA supporter and Trump voter has planned that over 20 to 30 years. How many of them live for today without a thought for tomorrow?

Just so long as the brown people suffer along with them.

Trump is immune except when it comes to the dollar in your pocket. His disastrous economic policy will be his downfall.

The severe case of botulism, Salmonella or poisoning from (name your dangerous microbe here) he's likely to get once his buddy Bob Jr. finishes gutting food inspections and safety guidelines.

I can't think of anything that I want more even if I have to wait until Kreesmass.

I expect bank runs and Trumpvilles and massive global unemployment. Make America the 1930s Again...

I can see a projected legit recycling prospect for all those Amazon boxes... low income housing.

come September.

perhaps, the end of the beginning.” We've still got a lot of very bad economic news ahead. This will reduce Maga's power and popularity, but a lot of people are going to suffer, some deserving, most not.

Just days ago, Fuckface47 said that people tell him that they’ve never seen so many jobs being added,

The question for the White House is simple: “If Trump has created a ‘hot’ economy, why has American job growth slowed to a 16-year low?”

How weak is the job market? Excluding the pandemic, Americans haven’t seen employment numbers this bad since 2009 — during the Great Recession.

To be sure, the tariff uncertainty in particular, combined with radical cuts in government spending, not to mention undermining government information services, are all negative long-term factors diminishing growth.

But for the time being, businesses have figured out that the tariff noise is more mark than bite as Donnie so often talks big, then delays and backs down. Still, the tariffs that have stuck are doing real damage, just less than has been feared.

All this against a backdrop of a global economy that's still doing fine after good years here under Biden.

So we're not in imminent danger of a formal recession. The job market has certainly pulled back, though that has more to do with AI replacing other jobs.

Tariffs will do damage, don't get me wrong. They'll just need time to really hurt us.

But they will devotedly not blame the guy who caused it, and instead curse the name of Joe Biden. Like the good little bootlickers they are.

I've never seen a bigger group more fanatically dedicated to the maintenance of their own poverty and wretchedness.
