The Trump economy produces another month of anemic job growth and rising unemployment, in delayed September jobs report

[Cypress]

Nonfarm payrolls increased by 119,000 in September, up from the 4,000 jobs lost in August following a downward revision, according to a long-delayed report Thursday from the BLS.

The unemployment rate edged higher to 4.4%, the highest it’s been since October 2021. A broader measure edged lower to 8%.

They're crowing about job growth exceeding expectations - but that doesn't make it "good."

The economy is in rough shape. It's a bummer it has come to this.

How do you know, few of any trust anything coming out of the Trump team, when he fired the previous head of Labor Statics when she released a report he didn’t like. Currently the Fed is taking that into consideration for its December rate revision

An NFL team improving from a 2-15 season to a 4-13 season is technically an improvement, but it's also grounds for the head coach to be fired.

What? That's horrible. We were chatting with our grocery check out kid last week, who is a college student. He was saying it's getting harder and harder to find decent jobs. We've noticed the lack of help wanted signs on business doors.

If the election had turned out differently, we'd still be on the growth trajectory begun during Biden's tenure.
