Today's NYT jobs report coverage (left) compared to exactly 2 years ago under Biden (right). Notice the numbers.

Dedc79118Here's one heading into the presidential election
kevinmcnamee.bsky.social115Both voters and the US press have deeply internalized the wildly inaccurate notion that Republicans are better for the economy.
Jim Rockford39And from within their own story. "GLACIAL"
KurtRexCooper301/4 the job growth and it’s great. What a sycophant the NYT is now. 😢
Go Ask Alice16Media played a huge role in the downfall of this country, and they continue to prop up the fascists

ⓘ 𝕆ligarch f*ckery detected7Where is this liberal media I keep hearing so much about? 🤷♂️
Negativepeace4The New York Times is a conservative outlet. They only pander to liberals, but their biases are EVERYWHERE when you pay attention
choo choo choose anger3You don’t hate The New York Times enough
meadia.bsky.social3I wish people would acknowledge this more. The MSM has been hammering Dems for a long time now. The SC being super conservative and taking away our rights is a direct line from the NYT and others favoring the GOP
HudsonRiverCroc2You basically kabuki theater of “liberal MSM” that pretends to be so, and cons pretend it is.
Lindsey Jones-Renaud2Oooh here are two examples that would be great for a lesson in media literacy
vincentvecchione.bsky.social2People have lost the wisdom they learned from the Great Recession because of fucking Will Stancil types. Anything less than 250k jobs per month is a net job loss because population growth adds 250k net people to the labor force every month.
JUST IN: Disappointing June jobs report under Trump. The U.S. added just 57,000 jobs — well below the 115,000 expected. Hospitality lost 61,000 jobs. April and May numbers revised down by 74,000. Wage growth (3.5%) is lagging behind inflation (~4%). Trump’s economy is stalling.

𝔻𝕁 𝕊𝕦𝕓𝕥𝕖𝕣𝕣𝕒𝕚𝕟8"Hospitality lost 61,000 jobs" Obviously nothing to do with the nosedive in tourist numbers thanks to Herr Trump alienating the entire planet?
🔵Blue Dot Buckeye🔵7Top contributing factors: -Trump’s tariffs -⬇️ tourism due to decreased numbers of foreign visitors -⬇️ domestic travel due to Affordability crisis -Deportations have further beleaguered the industry by directly depleting the immigrant labor supply that many hotels and restaurants rely on.
Dona Dickinson4Happy Trump Recession™️ to all who celebrate! The orange demon has done it again! Destroyed a thriving economy. Again. Guess it would have been better if more folks would have voted for the Black lady.
Bald disc golfing daddy4When hospitality falls that is an indicator of a decline in discretionary spending as well as tightening of corporate travel budgets. The trend is clear. The squeeze is on.
fjriii.bsky.social4how many of these jobs are considered temporary due to the world cup matches?
Pam Keith15The MAGA admin: post numbers that are bad but credible. Wait two months. Then quietly revise those numbers down. And those numbers will also be artificially high. People looking for a job know how bad this economy is. The numbers don’t tell the story.
MantaHunk 🌎🏳️🌈☮️🟧2Gosh golly gee whiz, what are all those red lines?
All told, the U.S. economy has added 668,000 jobs over Trump’s 18-month second term. Over the previous 18 months, the economy added over 2.4 million jobs. To date, the White House hasn’t even tried to explain why the job market worsened after Trump took office. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
keeblerd.bsky.social2They don’t defend it bc they don’t care. As long as the oligarchs are doing great that is all that matters to this administration.
Itgetzbybuckner1Because they know Tariffs are anti-growth. But Tariffs allow them to personally profit thru payoffs. Trump and friends get their tribute. It's why Bessent can so easily lie when he goes on TV a) he goes on friendly shows only b) hes making huge bank personally
Made it back from daycare! Payrolls +57k vs +113k exp +172k prev -74k 2m net revision Unemployment rate 4.2% vs 4.3% exp/4.3% prev
George Pearkes29UST rallying, dollar selling off, equity index future session highs
Gee3Did someone have early access to the crop report?
Bark2How does payroll growth miss plus a downward revision but unemployment beats? Just more people than expected leaving the labor market or is there something else that affects it?
Gee1Maybe not quite as strong a rebound as we were hoping for...
MC Nietzsche1Checking in on enemy territory to see how this is being covered
U.S. employers added 57,000 jobs in June and the unemployment rate dipped to 4.2 percent. Data: www.bls.gov/news.release... Full coverage: www.nytimes.com/live/2026/07... #NumbersDay
Ben Casselman19April and May's gains were both revised down somewhat, by a combined 74,000 jobs.
BK4Why did the push notification from the NYTimes described this as "steady", when under Biden quadruple the amount of Job growth was usually described as sluggish?
Smoochy Rhino2Yeah, well, I’m more than a little suspicious of any & everything that Trump’s BLS puts out.
TheSquare1Biden averaged 316,000 jobs per month and dropped the unemployment rate from 6.7 to 4.1%. It’s all Biden’s fault that he set the bar so high.
Lexi "Pro-Democracy" 💙1It is Summer!! Is no one hiring for Summer jobs? This just seems super low to me and we are hosting the World Cup too!!
Ben Casselman20Charts! Starting with the big picture: Job growth slowed in June (and April/May were revised down), but the pickup in hiring this year remains intact. #NumbersDay
Naomi, but more gay 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️3I love trying to find a job in this economy 🙃
Lord Chris Hanrahan (He/Him)3This brought to you buy the same administration that reports Trump is 6'3".
Breaking news: The U.S. economy added 57,000 jobs in June, less than expected. The unemployment rate ticked down to 4.2 percent, according to Labor Department data.
Raffy3Chart of jobs added for 5 years…. Billionaires don’t really need jobs, they have their investments, the stock market & properties. The rest of us need to work to live. #jobsreport
Synchronizing2The only sector that has been hiring for the last 2 years is healthcare and social assistance. Republicans trying to kill off that sector as well. Thanks MAGA.
