The Labor Departments benchmark revisions to full-year 2025 data revealed that a labor market already viewed as soft actually performed worse than initially thought.

Revisions brought the total number of jobs added last year down by more than 403,000, to only 181,000 for the year – an exceptionally weak year by almost any standard. There are now real doubts about how long the broader economy can continue to power forward with the job market.

This is far fewer than the 1.46 million jobs that were added in 2024.

Wednesday’s reports further complicate the task for President Donald Trump and Republicans as they attempt to craft an economic narrative going into the 2026 midterm elections. Polls show that the president’s approval rating on the economy has declined, while consumer sentiment has been poor, particularly around the jobs market.

>to only 181,000 for the year
This is literally how much Biden averaged in a month.
>>
>>1488212
Oh and compared to 2024 thats a DECREASE of about 1,279,000 jobs.

(1,460,000-181,000 = -1,279,000)

I thought Trump was going to CREATE more jobs, not drastically decrease them???
>>
>>1488212
I assume the actual numbers are much worse given trump fired the original people for truthfully reporting the numbers
>>
Surely more tariffs and handouts to Argentina and Israel will fix this
>>
>>1488212
>>1487864
I didn't mean literally but I guess you have to do something during a slow news cycle.
>>
>>1488223
Yeah those January 2026 job numbers will be revised down to 25,000 in a couple months. You'll see.
>>
If there was ever a point where he cared, or was at least willing to pretend to care, about creating jobs for Americans, it ended when he started listening to tech executives and hit the point of no return when he let DOGE fire all those government employees. Between all the former feds flooding the private sector job market and AI systems designed specifically to take jobs from people, it's incredible that things aren't even worse than they already are.
>>
>>1488274
Why do they even put out projected numbers? Why not just wait for the revised, i.e. accurate numbers?
>>
The added jobs were all paid migatard shills on 4chan and xitter
>>
We're are in a mild recession right now, no amount of bullshit stats can gloss over Americans seeing their costs continuing to rise, their wages stagnating, and more and more businesses going under every day.

>We're are in a mild recession right now, no amount of bullshit stats can gloss over Americans seeing their costs continuing to rise, their wages stagnating, and more and more businesses going under every day.

2025 saw a record in business bankruptcies. We're deep into a recession that the billionaires are insulated from.

no shit, this is a good thing
>fewer people due to secure border + deportations
>lower total job growth but per capita jobs are probably not much different
leftists still don't understand per capita
>>
>>1488392
because leftists are dumb
people want jobs, and Trump is making sure people have more jobs per capita
suck it up libs, Trump is going to keep making more jobs per capita and you can't stop him
>>
>>1488392
>>1488393
Retard there's no jobs.
>>
>>1488392
>lower total job growth but per capita jobs are probably not much different
I cannot tell trolls acting retarded from actual Trump humpers at this point

Hes a shill, being oblivious to facts is all he understands.

No he isn't

>>
>>1488414
Yeah, and that ain't shit.
>>
>>1488418
you're just not seeing the gains because you live in a sanctuary city
since ICE (Thank You President Donald J Trump!) came through and got rid of all the illegals, all those jobs were reclaimed for real americans
some of my friends have 2 or even 3 jobs because jobs are so plentiful
>>
>>1488414
Biden added more in a month.
>>
>>1488421
1) There's still growth, contrary to the claim that "there's no jobs", and
2) Doesn't really count when you're allowing people to go back to work they were already doing before COVID.
>>
>>1488513
Biden added more in his LAST month as president, December 2024, than Trump added in the entire YEAR of 2025. In fact, he added more than double the number, 256,000.. That's appalling.
Not to mention, if population grows more than jobs, which it has, then the number of jobs per capita decreases. You did not deport enough brown people to keep population constant no matter how brutally you treat lawful citizens.
America is currently in a situation where there are not enough jobs for everyone. Literally, if every available job was filled, there would still be unemployed people. This is Trump's economy in 2026. God help the United States.

Goes to show you how fucked the current economy is. And stocks magically go up (because the stock market is completely detached from reality.)

Luckily, according to polling, the masses are well aware of how shit the economy is right now.
>>
>>1488567
>You did not deport enough brown people to keep population constant
And whose fault is that?
>>
>>1488576
>Guys it's fine, we just deported so many people that the job market only looks bad because all of them are gone
>No you didn't
>WELL THAT'S YOUR FAULT WE DIDN'T DEPORT ENOUGH BROWN PEOPLE FOR MY HEADCANON TO BE TRUE!
>>
>>1488588
>it's not our fault we've been obstructing, harassing, stalking, assaulting and shooting ICE agents while they're trying to deport illegals
>>
>>1488591
Keep track of your arguments retard. You're admitting this ISN'T because Trump deported enough people that this is actually le epic positive change because all the fake illegal jobs are gone.
>>
>>1488600
No I came in at >>1488567 when you said
>You did not deport enough brown people to keep population constant
And I'm here to remind you that yeah ICE isn't deporting enough illegals because you treasonous cocksuckers are always rioting when you don't get your way. I wish to God Trump was a tenth of a fascist you animals claim he is. Maybe then you'll get what you fucking deserve.
>>
>>1488604
See >>1488392

Keep track of the conversation before you jump in numbnuts.
>>
>>1488396
Thanks to Trump actually securing the border and deporting people, we had significantly lower population growth than under Biden. So it would be expected that there would be lower job growth too, which you would understand if you understood per capita.
>>
>>1488606
>So it would be expected that there would be lower job growth too
But there isn't growth; month after month it's negative. Even the current "beating expectations" growth is likely going to be readjusted to nothingness if not outright negative numbers by the next month.
>>
>>1488605
I don't give a shit what that other anon said. You subhuman filth riot and throw fiery tantrums anytime you don't get your way. Anytime you lose an election it's a good day to invest in property insurance. Now you're going to talk shit about Trump not deporting enough of the illegals your boy Biden brought into the country as if it's HIS FAULT that YOU FUCKING CANCEROUS SCUM CAN'T FOLLOW THE FUCKING LAW!

I swear I'm waiting for another civil war so I can peel the skin off your body with a fucking box cutter.
>>
>>1488610
the borders definitely aren't going to be open during a US Civil War
How are you going to get in here?
Just murder the brown people in your own country and stop hurting America
>>
>>1488610
You seem upset. Have you tried meditation instead of threatening to shoot up the local brown community?
>>
>>1488615
Have you seen the stock market today?

The AI bubble has burst!!!
>>
>>1488626
>Once again, Democunts are elated
>Everything gives Democrats higher odds of gaining power and being able to inflict more pain
I'm shocked only the mentally ill and immature vote for Democrats.
>>
>>1488615
NTA
To be fair you're bullshit is upsetting. And peeling the flesh off of your body would offer little solace.
>>
>>1488628
So you admit the only thing keeping the economy from officially entering another recession under Trump is an artificial AI bubble?
>>
>>1488632
Do I? If so how would that have been any different under a Democrat?
What's the relevance here?
We already know that the Biden admin's energy and supply chain policy caused much of the hyper inflation and we're still recovering from that. So, the AI bubble bursts and then what?
You blame whatever happens on Trump, just like when the Dotcom bubble burst and you blamed the housing crisis caused by Clinton repealing Glass-Stegall on Bush the fool?
>I lie to make myself look better
>Please vote for me
No.
>>
>>1488641
>Do I? If so how would that have been any different under a Democrat?
Well there wouldn't be the fucking tariffs shooting our manufacturing and export industry in the back of the head for one.
>>
>>1488648
I thought the tariffs were building up our manafacturing.
Like when Ronald Reagan put tariffs on Japanese auto vehicles, Toyota built the NUMMI plant in the United States to get around tariffs, which is why you could buy Japanese cars made in America
https://www.perc.org/1999/09/01/voluntary-export-restraints-on-automobiles/
In May 1981, the Japanese government instituted Voluntary Export Restraints (VERs) limiting automobile exports to the U.S. to 1.68 million units annually to mitigate intense competition facing the struggling American "Big Three" automakers. This protectionist measure, lasting until 1994, intended to aid the U.S. auto industry, but resulted in higher prices for consumers, increased profits for Japanese manufacturers, and forced foreign investment in U.S. production facilities
>>
>>1488653
Nope. And Reagan had the right idea to keep things to specific products instead of these absolutely braindead universal tariffs Trump slaps on for the most minor shit.
>>
>>1488658
How dare you criticize tariffs? More tariffs for you!
>>
>>1488319
Because publishing the projected numbers lets the friendly media outlets run a news cycle on all the projected jobs. Then they can conveniently ignore the release of the true numbers.
>>
>>1488576
Republicans and trump for killing immigration reform and not passing a federal jobs act where anyone who wants to work can.
>>
>>1488658
Don't forget trump proved tariffs aren't an emergency since put a tax hike on Switzerland goods because the female leader hurt his feelings.
https://reason.com/2026/02/11/trump-imposed-39-percent-emergency-tariffs-when-switzerland-hurt-his-feelings/
>>
>>1488604
>ICE isn't deporting enough illegals because
they're focused on theatrical mass deployments and going around in teams roughing up random people. It's basic efficiency, low key skiptracing and sending 2 agents at a time to round up deportees is more efficient than sending 10 agents to surround some soccer mom with their vehicles and deal with that fallout. This is why prior presidents had way more deportees and vastly fewer issues than Trump is having now.

Now, you should ask yourself why Trump and his administration are opting for inefficient flash that harms their alleged goals over low key effectiveness.
>>
>>1488610
>fiery tantrums
>as if it's HIS FAULT that YOU FUCKING CANCEROUS SCUM CAN'T FOLLOW THE FUCKING LAW!
Damn this pot is black.
>>
>>1488951
Liggerals are known for their fiery but mostly peaceful protests, and shooting people who mildly disagree with them.
>>
>>1488955
oh, so thats just another word for MAGA chuds
that makes sense
>>
>>1488959
Basically
>>
>>1488212
just fire the director of statistic department once again, then
