Biden's final month January 2025, ADP reported 180,000 new jobs. The following month, with the Trump tariffs in place it fell to 70,000.
And again, we are at 10% of the necessary new jobs for the work force. It all signals a serious problem with the economy, and now oil will shoot up.
Expect a recession soon (we are probably already in one but Trump's drunken spending keeps the GDP from going negative.)
