6. So now, through June, Trump has averaged +42,000 jobs per month

Thursday

during this term. A Reminder that during the Biden administration, job growth averaged +321,000 per month. Even during Biden's final year, when job growth slowed, the average gain per month was 103,000.

Shows exactly how awful Trump has been for jobs in this country.

Not only was June much lower than expected, April and May's significant downward revisions mean as a result, the job total for June is now 17,000 below the total reported on the May report.

Really terrible numbers for Trump.

The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for April was revised down by 31,000, from
+179,000 to +148,000, and the change for May was revised down by 43,000, from +172,000 to
+129,000. With these revisions, employment in April and May combined is 74,000 lower than
previously reported. (Monthly revisions result from additional reports received from
businesses and government agencies since the last published estimates and from the
recalculation of seasonal factors.)
