The US labor market continues to tank under trump.

"The jobs report by the the BLS shows just 22,000 new jobs added in August, far fewer than forecast. The unemployment rate rose to 4.3%.

In August, education and health services was the largest job creator at +46,000. Losses were sharpest in the durable goods and business services industries, where 19,000 and 17,000 jobs were lost, resp., 16,000 jobs were lost from the govt sector."

What did you expect?

The trump regime's solution to job creation - fire the experts, cook the books and keep gaslighting the nation.

Annualized change in non-farm employment over each presidency from 1939 to 2023. Democrats are in blue and Republicans in red.

Notice the pattern between the red and the blue bars? Democrats are good for the economy, while Republicans are good for the wealthy, who get to control the narrative.

BTW, Biden holds the record as the only President with positive job growth during every month of the Presidency.

Vote Blue 🌊
