It's just going to keep getting worse with the idiots we have in power right now. DON'T FEED THE OLIGARCHS
Again. Republicans suck at the whole economy thing.
That'll be all the decent journalists leaving the Post..
People are not going to work for nothing and to be offered no benefits worthwhile. People are at a point that they would rather Rob the rich then work for them
And how many more are unemployed and not receiving benefits? How many are unemployed?
Normally I'd tell you to look up the U-6 rate on BLS.gov. but not sure how accurate any of those stats are now that he's gotten his sticky orange fingers on them.
#TrumpSlump #BlueCollarBust
Trump will fire the entire Labor Department.
Someone’s gonna get sacked for these figures #pedoführer
And will only get worse unless we do something
also, remember the bunch of federal employees who took the deferred resignation? their pay amd benefits are set to end in less than 2 months. watch the numbers shoot up then!
Shhhh, don’t tell Trump he’ll get mad and fire you!!
He can only hide the facts from people for so long. His supporters can deny reality while they're filing for unemployment benefits. They'll parrot his line that the economy is great until they're denied the SNAP benefits that the GOP just cut. Reality has a way of releasing people from the fever.
That's if they are smart enough, lately it shows that they're not..
Too much winning Mr. Trump. And yet, too much whining.
Trump has killed more jobs than any president I can think of
And The Washington Post helped him.
He has fired more federal employees than I can remember.
Killed jobs and let people die
Not nearly as sinister as the number of people CBP and HHS are on track to kill.
That's the part we are not talking about! The question is, what are we going to do about this???
Especially if you consider both terms. Not sure about the numbers but I would guess great depression levels.
He did it the first time! His asinine trade war policies led to the loss of a significant number of jobs, with nearly 250,000 jobs lost due to just the US/China trade policies.
He's intentionally driving us into a Great Depression.
Kill jobs, make people homeless, force the homeless into work camps till they die, use their children for labor and to fufill their desires.
That's a good summary
This is the plan. Once everyone is desperate, privatization of everything under no-bid billion-dollar contracts to select techno-oligarchs will be accepted by the moronic masses.
Except it most definitely won’t because end of the day Americans are entitled as shit and telling them “you’ll eat shit and like it” only makes sense to MAGAts. They’ll hang him by the end of this, just hope I’m here to see it
Those masses already seem to accept everything coming down on them anyway. I don't see any resistance.
You forgot to add the part that if you deport tens of thousands of migrant workers the American economy relies on (realized by people or unrealized) while destroying and gutting social safety nets you create a situation where people have to take those open low paying jobs to not starve
Yep, here comes Animal Farm. It will be the Haves and the Have Nots. MAGAs will be convinced they are the Haves as long as there aren't people around that don't look like them.
This is the fallacy of that thinking though. Suddenly when the outgroups are gone maga will be the knew outgroup.
Eh, they’ll still look down on the non-whites, the non-Christians.
They will. That won’t change. However they aren’t in any better position they are just too stupid to notice.
And I’ll still look down on them for their willful ignorance
No no no. trump wants to outdo everything/everyone—because…genius, him. He’s going to make sure it’ll be the Greatest Depression—and always followed with “the likes of which never experienced”.
Touche!
It's near the top of Putin's list.
Easier to control people that way as Hitler found out in Germany in the 1930s
Republicans could stop this in a second. they're all committing treason as far as I can see it.
youtu.be/fdjvz4ay8xo?...
Between the tariffs, coronavirus, the purging of the federal civil service, and ending subsidies for clean energy jobs, yeah.
Who’s getting fired for that one?
Looks like Wapo backed the wrong horse. Stupid fks.
lol the pandemic never ended
It’s endemic—with us forever.
Scientists are working on a sterilizing vaccine, which would have the potential to eradicate the infection completely.
Speaking as someone who is immunocompromised and largely still can't leave the house, I'm certainly hoping so.
Where's tRUMPS graph showing the exact opposite?
He’s getting his sharpie
Chain gangs in the fields to start soon.
How’s the orange buffoon going to spin this one?
Oh oh...someones going to lose their job....
Washington post. Lol. They're not biased at all 🙄 i wont even open the link.
I’m surprised that Bezos allows the WaPo to print anything critical of the current admin.
Is daddy Bezos mad about the chips?
Someone else is about to file an unemployment claim….
That’s what happens when you fire thousands of hard working people for no legitimate reason. With the cost of tariffs it’s only going to get worse.
So, this seems to correspond to the poor job report. Hmmm . . . How is Trump going to "fix" this?
We can starve ourselves to death as long as Lord Orange is happy and making money. MAGA
‘Fake News!’ DJT
Breaking: Trump fires Labor Dept...
I'm one of them, thanks to Agent Orange
Maybe the Trump administration shouldnt fire millions, just saying, there in lies the problem, voila a two year old could figure that out
Nice job wapo, even more blood on your hands. Tell bezos to get off yam tits dik
The pandemic is still ongoing: the article SHOULD have said since when COVID was a global crisis (it is still a global pandemic but not a crisis).
I suppose the orange orangutan is going to claim those numbers are a hoax too?
Are you trying to get fired????? That doesn't fit the supreme leaders narrative!
I see another firing on the horizon...🤷♂️🖕🏻
They will stop unemployment next and there will be more homeless
As long as maga takes the most homelessness situation, that will be fine. I know Democrats will be there, but not as bad as them. I had gone through my town and found people who needed food and clothing. Saw a family with a sign saying he made a mistake voting for trump. I told too late
Wait until all the laid off govt employees start collecting in September
Hi
Yeah, we knew this was coming because of what they did to the government and what they’ve done to businesses with tariffs we are going to lose for an investment places are not going to keep up with whatever these deals are if there are any real deals, which I don’t see yet. He will spend everything.
Trumps fault.
But,but,but...the fuhrer and his administration say that the US economy is flourishing. They lied?!? 🤔🤔🤔
It could be because #PedoPresident has destroyed our economy in record time. It’s only going to get so much worse as well.
Is this critical of free markets? Best check with your leadership WaPo!!
The man is a piece of shit.
True. Abigsteamingorangejobby!
+1 for jobby - haven't heard that since my Nana called it that when I was a little one!
Don’t worry. Trump will just fire the people collecting that data
Hang on we’re 7 months in. We’re not winning enough! Remember voting has consequences.
Who could be fired for this data?
So covid era unemployment. F MAGA.
Dear WP. Weren’t you for him just a few months ago? I guess now that you all got your tax cuts at our expense. You all have no use for him any longer. Trump is just like his supporters, easily fooled
What did he think all the doge people he had fired were going to do? This administration is like the most unqualified ever.
Kill jobs, reduce benefits, multiply the number of people on benefits so the result is ... nothing gained ! Great mathing from the orange man
which is also the highest since the last time trump crashed the economy
It doesnt matter. I saw yesterday how Trump has 89% approval rating among Republicans. - The economy doesnt matter when Republicans destroy it. - PDFs dont matter when the perpetrators are Republicans like Trump. The biggest danger to the US is the republican voting base. Trump is just the symptom.
And that fucking idiot trump doesn’t believe the jobs reports
If that's what the Labor Department is admitting to, how bad is it really?
Oh. Who could have ever seen this coming. 🤯
Make America what now?
Has the team putting out that report already added themselves to next month’s unemployment numbers?
Fire the employment stats team! Thank you for your attention!
The American people's stalwart dedication to nonviolence directly enabled this.
Add to that number the thousands of people who are unemployed but do not qualify financially to be eligible. These are folks who either haven't earned enough money, or who have been unemployed for an extremely long time.
...or have been forced to work full time jobs as "temporary" or "self-employed" workers.
"So Much Winning!"
Fake news ! Haaaa
You know that’s not true. Said Donald.
Soon after, will be record foreclosures as people can’t pay their mortgages without JOBS. Elect a pathetic CONVICTED FELON TRAITOR PEDOPHILE and expect a F-CKING MESS.
Party on donnie
Well, with that headline, someone is losing their job. Because, surprise, Trump is fucking this economy with alacrity. Supercharging 45 years of failed Trickle-down corporatism, spiced with trashing our entire scientific workforce and seasoned with moronic, growth-killing chaotic tariffs.
Brought to you by MAGA!
The Jobs President Trump ain't.
Wow Donald you are doing such a wonderful job. Everything you touch goes up when you say they are going down. Let the professionals do their jobs. You Sir are not a professional!!!!!
Seeing this at home...a local trucking company with a workforce of 40 drivers just laid off 15 of them because they are not getting as much freight to haul as in the past. Guess we can definitely say that unlike tax cuts, the tariffs are trickling down to the middle class.
Keep getting local stories on which 40 year old biz's have closed in nearby cities .. Skeleton staff, empty shelves, modified hours all over the place, once Medicaid and Medicare cuts go fully into effect we shall start to hemorrhage healthcare personnel into that unemployed pool we're toast!
 psycho taco Donnie’s is undercutting all of our democracy institutions. We need to protest in mass. We need to get out and show that we’re serious. We’re losing our freedoms by inaction! get out and show up ,we need real action massive force.we may have to physically fight for our independence
Trumpflation caused the second trump recession
I’m to The Point where it Feels Like We Must All Demand from Our Representatives on a Daily Basis that We, the People, want Him - Impeached by the House - Convicted by the Senate And - Removed by the Capitol Hill Police who managed to survive the January 6th Insurrection. Until it actually happens.
The fact that's even necessary is stunning. Who, in their right mind, . . . ?
I'm sure the republican majority will get right on that
Nah, don't be too hard on yourself. I'm a bit of an asshole when I'm worked up over this shit. Keep fighting, writing, calling, protesting what's happening, and doing what you can to take the House and Senate so we can make it happen and go after these nazi "vermin".
Somebody's gonna get fired for publishing these numbers
I thought that he fired the data expert lady?
+1 - whoever released this report will be on unemployment soon, as Mad King Bad-wig won't stand for unpleasant facts.
He’s gonna fire whoever’s in charge of unemployment statistics next.
I thought jobs were going up. 😐
Must fire who is counting that at the labor department
LOL another firing incoming , before replacement with Ex-Fox DUI hire replacement .
ARE WE WINNING YET? FUCK NO
Obviously those that this Fascist have fired. What did they expect them to do?
The greatest pandemic is your convict taco 🌮 drump
He'll cancel unemployment benefits next
Yes. Cruelty is the point.
Case in point: the accelerating shitification of the US by the magaT regime.
Yay! More people to pick produce Get them in the fields and working MAGA!
I guess whoever is in charge of unemployment numbers is going to get fired too.
Such”winning.” NOT!
So glad you guys didn't endorse anyone
Biden had us on the right track. Trump is imploding any progress that was made and driving us to a recession.
more like a depression. And all of this was completely avoidable! It's like he's actively pulling out rungs on the ladder as he's going up.
That was his entire goal. He wants his "revenge" and "retribution", and destroying the American economy is part of his objective.
Fat old man who calls everything he doesn't like fake and a hoax and wouldn't know what a 4:1 ratio is all about, what do think the chances are of getting to the top the ladder it is all wobbly with nothing to prevent to come crashing down?
Most likely he has bright, capable employees managing his finances. Those overseas holdings of his will also be somewhat insulated from the coming meltdown.
Home Depot and farm workers...
Oh look, your favorite tiny hands terrorist David Dennison on his way to a psych assessment. #Epsteinflies
2 million are just loving this golden age of trumpism!
Pigs!
It seems extremely likely Trump has plans to fix that by fabricating future reports. @governor.ca.gov & @governor.ny.gov need to partner with, maybe, NYSE & NASDAQ to create an HONEST replacement for BLS saying it's to help businesses plan.
Sector by sector, he’s destroying our country…
Making America great again. The Orange Felon/ Pedophile is destroying our country and robbing us blind.
The rest will be in history books how the mighty United States of America burned to the ground and destroyed itself. The world will finally be a better place. That reminds me, "I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony ".
Now millions are homeless, but wait, Trump just signed an executive order to fine or jail homeless people, which will be whole families. The prisons will be overcrowded. So what can they do? Steve Miller will suggest execution. The Republicans will vote for it and pass it.
No tourist means no customers. Restaurants, hotels, entertainment, and tourist places like Las Vegas are ghost towns. He fired all the park rangers so you can't even camp. All the workers are laid off. Millions. With the prices rising, people won't be able to afford JACK.
That's because of Trump. First, they fired all the government workers, all the programs, all the scientists, got rid of FEMA, and the list is an arm long. Then the bastard tariffed the world, and prices went sky high. Then he betrayed all the other countries in the world and suddenly no tourists.
And, that’s just the people who can still claim and haven’t run through all of their benefits like the rest of us who have been laid off for a year+ now because the job market is abysmal. Why? YOUR BOSS needs all the money with the rest of the billionaires. Thanks, Bezos! Oligarchy is awesome.
MAUA: Making America Unemployed Again
Important message please repost! 🙏🏼 substack.com/@jennbudd/no...
Holy crap. Look at how organized all the democrats are. They coordinated all these people to sign up for unemployment just to make the presidents economy look bad. 🤦♂️
The rich will get richer while the poor get poorer.
#Winning
They're going to start drafting people into ICE.
You can hide and manipulate statistics. It does however Not change the underlying issue of unemployment. Nothing gets better by sweeping problems under the rug or shoving it into the closet.
Be ready to add more, after everyone responsible for collecting and reporting unemployment data is fired.
"the Trump effect"
Who is in charge of Labor Department data? Why aren't they fired?
Stunned to learn that unemployment benefits are still a thing in Trump’s America…🔥🇺🇸
not for long
Surprised that this statistic is still available, and hasn't been buried. Explain to me why the stock market continues to rise in this chaos. Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Could there also be market manipulation?
What isn't talked about enough is just how much of our stock market is on autopilot. The majority of new investments come in the form of index funds in 401ks. That money just inflates the biggest stocks and won't sell until retirement. It's made the bubble more resilient, but the pop will be worse.
let me help: a company's value instantly jumps up when they do mass layoffs because they've just cut their expenses. (because in capitalism human beings are "expenses") it's not market manipulation, this is just straight up how capitalism works.
Been there done that for many years. There's "trimming the fat" and then there's trimming yourself out of business. Small businesses don't have the luxury of laying off too many people, and our country's back bone is small business.
I don't think it is. I think large corporations and the finance industry generate the most in GDP. (not that I support gdp as a metric in the first place, I am a Marxist after all) but if every business was a "small business" I probably wouldn't be so aggressively anti-capitalism. but that's not
what capitalism is. small enterprises existed before capitalism and will likely exist after it. (unless global market economics causes our extinction)
The stock market's back bone is big business though.
Yes, but what is "big business"? It is a bunch of smaller businesses, that sell to customers, something that the customers need or want. But if customers don't have the money, they can't buy the products, or they buy much less of the products. Ultimately this causes big business to decline.
but they don't. walmart and amazon rule the country. please pay attention.
My cat, Scardy, is going to have to do without that $15 mouse toy, and I'm not alone. Many buyers of that mouse toy, will also decide against buying it. So, either the price will come down drastically, or whoever makes that toy in China will have to stop producing it.
China has a planned economy. those workers will go and help their country in another way. this is what I mean when I say that capitalism has had its day. it's now a fucking zombie... or as marx said
"Capital is dead labor, which, vampire-like, lives only by sucking living labor, and lives the more, the more labor it sucks." but there is a finite loop. lower wages increases profits, but then no one can buy your shit. but because you have to increase profits, you have to lower wages... etc
2/Take General Motors. They don't just sell one product in the U.S., they sell engines, parts, cars, locomotive parts, etc. Through various distributors. Those distributors may sell "wholesale" to other businesses, or "retail" direct to the public. They need customers to buy. No money, no customer.
And so the glorious leader doubles down on immigrants, minorities and the educated being the problem. Happens to all right wing fascist countries.
You asked for an explanation as to why the stock market continues to rise in the chaos, and the answer is because the stock market is all about rich people getting richer, and so they've understood that what Trump is doing is for them and are not panicking, quite the contrary.
Yes, but I believe the circle will close, and all of this will catch up, leading to a recession or worse.
you know what's cool? you understand marx!!! that's literally the main contradiction in capitalism, and necessitates its fall. hell yeah dude! you're a marxist!
That's why I was in the retail business for 50 years. Because I'm a Marxist! Wow!
I mean, you are a parasite and stole labor value from your workers, but you understand that you can't devalue labor forever without losing a consumer base, which means capitalism cannot live forever. so hell yeah dude!
Yes I agree, it will be calamitous for the 99% but the rich will have made their packet. The transfer of wealth upwards was the point.
Billionaires will not care, because they will take their money out of the U.S. and move to Switzerland or Monaco or Paris, etc. We will be left holding the bag.
You brought small businesses into the convo, but they are not a relevant factor here.
America is built on small business. Without it, we don't have an economy.
That's why we have to HURT BIG BUSINESS.... We have to WALK OUT and not for a single day... But 2 weeks or more... They have got to feel the pain... Then BOYCOTT THEM!
easy for certain people, not for others. it's why we communists advocate for revolution, because nothing except the people united using the state as a tool can dismantle the rule corporations have over us and our future.
As small businesses get hurt badly by tariffs, the owners will likely sell to private equity firms (the bane of U.S. business today) to get something out of it for all their hard work, but not nearly what it used to be worth. After the company is drained of capital by PE, workers will be let go.
😡😡😡😡😡
Wasn't this what Jack Welch was all about? Every year, he'd fire the bottom 10%, based on performance. And share prices grew as a result.
Stocks continue to rise in spite of the chaos because the tax savings $'s the Billionaire Corporate Class & top 5% wage earners get from the BIG BULL💩 BILL far outweighs the $'s they'll lose in sales revenues when mass unemployment hits everyone else. The impending autocracy works just fine for them
Yes, but it's the snake eating it's own tail.Eventually, the bigger businesses will go out for lack of customers, who are out of work and can't buy their products or services. See the Great Depression. Working people lost everything. Big business couldn't operate without customers. Simple math IMHO.
2/The only thing that saved us was World War 2. And it was close to not saving us. Are we going to need another big war to save us this time?
Nope. China is the emerging empire now. The war is already here, and we are playing the part of a Europe that will end in rubble.
I agree with you. But I do think today’s American Oligarchs & Corporate Billionaires figure they can hoard enough cash, gold, real estate etc that they’ll be fine. Heck they probably figure they can get great free labor by bringing back slavery. They figure starving people will work for food scraps.
That's exactly right. Billionaires won't be affected as long as their money is in hard currency like gold and cash. Those that depend strictly on the market, will be jumping out of windows.
Because Trump says they are rising it doesn't mean they are. These are screenshots I did a couple of days ago of the dow jones
There is manipulation but there’s a better explanation. The top 1% now own 50% of stocks, top 10% own 93%. Money pours into stocks regardless of how the economy is doing month by month because the US system is functioning as intended - funneling increasing amounts of wealth to the already wealthy.
2/ It doesn’t matter how increasingly desperate the lives of the bottom 60% of Americans are getting in regards to the stock market as long as the rich have nowhere else useful to dump their increasingly large hoards of wealth, and use their money to make more money without having to lift a finger.
I agree with everything you say. At some point, I believe the dam will break, and the majority of Americans will begin to fight back. I don't know how long this will take. Maybe months, maybe years. But it's going to happen.
The market did react in April, but Trump then delayed/postponed tariffs taking affect, Manufacturers both wholesale and parts made deliveries to arrive before they took affect, the market then rose back, and the cycle has repeated. It is where TACO came from Trump always chickens out on Wall Street.
You are making the grand assumption that the stock market and the economy are connected. They are two very independent things that often show the same trends -- and in this case, they don't. The theory was that if a stock goes down, the company would respond by
Increasing or decreasing investments into the company, like R&D, depending on what the executives believed was wrong. Since Regan, executives tend to be very invested in the stocks, so they manipulate them rather than use them as an indicator of health. That decouples them from the economy impact.
It's time for Socialism... Where employees receive stock in their company and then have a say in the business!! Profit sharing is what made this country strong... When you're invested, the company does far better.
I wouldn't say that's a silver bullet either. Most employees can't see beyond their role, but owning a part of the office should instill some pride. But killing stock buy backs and limiting the "share holders are all that matters" mantra would go much further.
It’s just state data added together and even the most Trumpy of Trump states are incentivized to accurately report numbers so they can adequately fund their systems. The stock market continues to rise because like 5-10 companies are buying 1 company’s video cards and propping the whole thing up.
That was the whole purpose of the 💩 show in the Spring
Yes, yes it was. trump knew he was manipulating the market
He manipulated the market & enabled insider trading - both crimes - then bragged about it on video - & WHERE ARE OUR LAWMAKERS TO PURSUE THESE & MORE CRIMES? Trump has done so much that is impeachable, yet no impeachment forthcoming STEP UP @warren.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov
Impeachment resolutions have been introduced twice, but never come to the floor for a vote. Democrats will have to get their voices heard on major networks and places like TikTok , because those resolutions and bills are going nowhere.
💯WTAF that its not non 🛑 news any/all his corruption 🙀😨😱 Independent journalism is crucial 👏
You are so right. Reposted
We MUST GIVE DEMOCRATS the House and Senate come MIDTERMS... That's the ONLY WAY to change all of this! Impeach Trump and downsize SCOTUS AND THEN ELIMINATE the Electoral COLLEGE..
Because poor people don’t have stocks
A lot of folks are told and made to believe that if the stock market goes up, the economy is doing well. Most Americans don't own stock.
I remember expounding a theory some years ago that suggested that a stock market crash is unlikely in these times because the investment base is a lot broader than it was in the 1920s. Because of that, when the market falls,investors buy which keeps the market buoyant. In the 20s,everyone panicked.
I remember reading that just before the '29 crash, some people pulled out because they thought that when your cab driver starts giving you market tips, it's time to bail. I think we are almost there now. Only this time it's bit-coin tips.
That said, if it does fall there's going to be blood on the streets..
That's what I've been wondering. Jobs data horrific, huge tariffs just announced yesterday and the market soars 500 points
They're all happy right now. Once business starts losing customers, and have to sell inventory at a loss to keep up, many will go out, and I believe the markets will tank.Who's gonna buy those $3,000. phones, or those $70,000 cars, or those $450,000. homes, without a job? No one.
Very true
The stock market LOVES unemployment!
I get it. Trim the fat. But those folks that lose their jobs, and can't find another comparable job, will slow or stop their buying of everything but the most basic needs. Once that happens, it's a ripple effect. Big businesses are still in it for the money. No money, no business. Simple math.
People have gotten used to the chaos and now ignore it.
Yes, I'm afraid that may be true. In which case, we really are dead.
That's basically how Rome fell and Europe ended up in the dark ages. It didn't happen suddenly, it was like a 300 year process of worsening economic situations, wars etc. There were places that survived well into the 800s barely touched but eh...
No mystery here, this is the way capitalism works. There's an economist who is pumping out youtube videos that explain a lot. Horrible voice and useless graphics but damned sensible lessons. Search for Richard Wolff. Come the revolution, brothers and sisters! Workers unite!
Absolutely!! We won't know the Truth until it's too late! I highly recommend pulling money from accounts little by little to have some safely in your safes!!
He did it again. Congratulations felon.
No doubt the person who issued that report will be summarily fired by Trump.
My first reaction was I wondered how it would take for that person to be fired.
...ironically increasing the number of people receiving unemployment benefits by one.
🤣
Shh! The Republicans will gut unemployment benefits too!
Soon no one will receive it. Then they can say that it's all better.
This is the actual "Golden Age" that Trump promised.
Are we tired of all this winning yet?
Huh... I wonder why.
Whose fault would that be the man who put him in charge or the man who actually fired thousands of people that administration is really quacky.
These numbers will shortly be corrected by the Ministry of Truth to show they are the lowest level ever.
Don't you love when a fictional novel inspires real life? 😖
I put a hold on '1984' at our library yesterday. It shows a 21 week wait. I have a copy from high school in the attic... might be time to buy the audiobook. It has a long hold on it at the library, too.
How about A Handmaids Tale as an alternate?
That’s not true according to trump🤦♀️🤦♀️.
'That’s not true according to treasonous felon 🤦♀️🤦♀️.' There, fixed it for you 👍
Or felonious rapist
That works too 👍
Thanks, Pedo supporters who could not endorse either Presidential candidate. Couldn't tell the difference, right?
RECESSION IS COMING ‼️ In just 6 months, Trump and Republicans have taken America from Boom to Bust
'RECESSION IS COMING ‼️ In just 6 months, Treasonous Felon and Republikkkans have taken America from Boom to Bust' There, fixed it for you 👍
I like that !
Thank you 🙂
#PresidentBiden and #VPHarris NEVER TOOK AWAY ANYBODY'S GUNS! But, #Trump and #MAGAGOP - ARE TAKING AWAY EVERYONES: - Jobs! - Paycheck! - Savings! - Pension! - Retirement! - #Medicare! - #Medicaid! - #SocialSecurity! - #SNAP! - Family's Health! - Children's Education! #VOTE U.S. BACK! 🇺🇸 🗽
Don't forget taking away: - Civil rights - Due process - Human dignity - The future
Well, I guess that person is going to get fired.
America's Safety Nets Medicaid are in Peril Looming annual $2trillion interest payment on Our National Debt 👀
the solution will be to stop reporting on unemployment as why track such losers, fully expect a number of red states to scale back both eligibility and weeks paid to influence the numbers
... not really surprising ... ... going to get worse ... Build skills that will grow money while you sleep. Learn which ETFs will double your money in 5 years, which stocks will give you back $10k+ / yr and properties growing in value. The job market will not have any feeling for you unfortunately
Don’t worry, they’ll cut those benefits soon so those numbers will come down 🙄
In the summer...when jobs are plentiful. Wait till winter hits...
Uh oh! Someone else bout to be fired!
Trump killed the jobs, and next he will kill every American. He's laughing at your stupidity. How pathetic you look.
Know why THAT is? It’s because MORE ppl are unemployed since late 21. The first statistic was the correct statistic. The more unemployed; the MORE unemployment benefit is paid.
Yay TrumPEDO!! Only he can fuck it up like no one else can.
Well there’s an easy solution coming. No unemployment payments and stop reporting the numbers or you’re fired. I wonder what will happen when the US declares bankruptcy.
sagging US economy: employment down unemployment up consumer confidence down inflation up stock market volatile GDP contracting tariffs are just starting to reel economy
I’m surprised unemployment still exists under this regime
PSA: all the noise from Hair Furor about how great the economy is, is a pack of lies.
It's all about lies and distraction from the Epstein files!!
Yep!
Winnnniiiinnnnggg!
Jeff B. Owns WAPO. We know all numbers are fudged by Trump lackeys…my guess this number does not reflect the actual ….increase. How many Americans no longer have unemployment benefits? Now, no food stamps, no medical care…???
Effects of Trump's Tariffs, Immigration Policy, and the Uncertainty that These Policies Create is Killing the Labor Market. That's your friggin' headline. #stopsanewashing
Trump literally fired hundreds of thousands of Americans by shutting down agencies, gutting departments, taking away federal funding, and cancelling federal research grants across the country to agencies, departments, universities, and research centers. Loss of jobs, loss of research and innovation
This now feels like a strategy🤔
Maybe the jobs report wasn't a hoax after all...
Let the TRUTH be told!
Who is getting fired for this truth ?
Trump won’t like the numbers and will fire whoever next in dept of labor. Are we great yet?
Too bad. Send 10 billions dollars to Israel.
Trump is going to be firing someone for these numbers and say they are rigged.
Highest since “Pandemic Era”? I remember the pandemic of course but there was such a thing as an era? And it’s over already? Don’t eras last a while? I’m so confused…
People who were responsible for reporting those numbers should be scared because Taco is going to get them Fired for reporting accurate numbers! Taco is going to claim it's a hoax.
Careful TWP you might get fired
I find a certain sick bit of humor in the fact that is a home depot
According to the senile psychopath is the number that are wrong. On his imaginary world everything is fine and the country is "hot" and his presidency a success. I just wonder when does the American corrupt political and justice system will act to defend the country and impeach the compulsive liar?
Wasn't the pandemic era the trump era? Asshats. action.lincolnproject.us/sheep_ad?utm...
Just saw a local post from our food pantry requesting donations as meals served in the last 2 months were up around 26% more than any other previous time.
I guess they'll be firing whoever let that information out...
More winning in the trump economy
And it’s going to get worse, the billionaires will make more off the tariffs for their companies while you the consumer and tax payer will pay for the increase in everything you buy! Deserve who you elect! They get richer you pay for it!
Fire whichever person calculated that statistic immediately!
WOW! SOME FACTS!!
Wow, you guys forgot the key factor in this trump's tariffs and terrible polices. Terrible journalism not blaming the clown in charge.
Whoever is in charge of this data, will soon join the unemployed because Trump doesn't like the truth in data!
That will be the next thing to go. Too many people on unemployment, let’s get rid of that woke nonsense.
Bad news.
Stop electing republicans, the country would move forward not backwards.
Uh-oh...wait 'til their benefits run out....
I didn't know this before REALLY reading up on Medicare and Medicaid right before the big, terrible bill passage. A good number of Medicare using folk use Medicaid money to help pay a portion of the Medicare premiums, so it's about to get really, really, really, really bad up in this place!
FAKE NEWS! UNEMPLOYMENT IS THE LOWEST EVER IN THE HISTORY OF BEFORE THE UNIVERSE WAS CREATED!!
Thanks for the truth..and laugh
😂🤣😂🤣
Chevron is decreasing oil plays in the Permian Basin, its most productive US field, and buying into Venezuela and Iran. Occidental is selling assets in the same area. More unemployment to come from oil layoffs, which cascades in boom or bust areas into support structure and service layoffs.
The tariffs and erratic trade policies are not making for stable economies. Money doesn’t flow with uncertainty. The US admin has created that globally. Markets everywhere and economies everywhere are impacted by the on again, off again, unpredictable style of government
Funny how The Washington Post spent all of 2024 slamming Biden while giving Trump a free pass
I'm not surprised. I AM heartbroken...

Surprised this story was approved by your master. (Ps. I don’t mean Bezos 🍊🤡
Thanks Trump Voters. This is on you.
I can attest to this. I’m unemployed and been so for 5 months
oh- so the numbers were correct! Wont stop FOTUS for showing a Sharpie style version in Sept for Aug employment /unemployment numbers! Prob will increase by 1500%
But that jobs report was fake right? 🙄
Can't wait to see the next one, if there ever is a next one. The monthly jobs report is required by law, but based on this corrupt, criminal regime; we'll just have to wait and see 🤬
Thanks Trump (sarcasm)
