US nonfarm payrolls fall by 23,000 in July
Under Trump, labor force participation is collapsing as stable, well-paying jobs become harder and harder to find. Meanwhile, inflation keeps surging and wiping out wage growth. He's running the economy just like he ran his businesses — right into the ground.
opamercer.bsky.social32Canadian economy added 75,000 jobs....Carney's knowledge and strategy paying off....
trixie3400.bsky.social29This Golden Age he keeps talking about must just be him hoarding our tax dollars. Because he's impoverishing us.
Samia Ali Salama27And Republicans are helping him. And Dems will probably forgive & forget afterwards. They should all be charged with sedition b/c they are all breaking their oaths. Trump is robbing the American people, stealing taxpayer funds that the people need for healthcare. #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited
YvetteJR718☮️💙♋️ ♎️❌18The starting salaries at most positions has stagnated or barely budged. People are being offered salaries now that are only a bit more than my husband made 30 years ago for the same Management position! I’m not exaggerating. A 1 bedroom apartment is over $2k! Most people are struggling to survive!
Against All Odds ⚖️10trump has two priorities, 1. Make America number 1 in racism. 2. Turn America into 2 classes. The ultra rich and the very poor, no more middle class. Until we understand this, he will achieve his goals. To fight back, you need to know what you’re fighting.
C C Humphrey9The incompetence is staggering and will only get worse with his mental decline
Anthony Torino8Trump math says that is a 200% increase.
Meidas Paul Wigton 🫘 🇺🇳🇺🇦5And MAGAts are the dumbfuck wing men, riding the Trump Air Farce, right into the ground.

Chez Andre2That what happen when you elect a pedophile in a diaper.
Clear Spies 🪬2"Unexpectedly"? Come on, why does the media always play interference for Trump? 🙄
CNBC on the July jobs report: "Minus -- minus! -- 23,000 on non-farm payrolls. That would be the second worst number of the year ... revisions -- another whopper! Minus 103,000 ... average hourly earnings -- big miss!"

BrianKAnimation39Remember earlier this week when Trump gave himself an A+ for the economy?
Nick James the 1st 🛸⚒️🍄27Crazy that this'll be Biden's fault
Jay Lionel19This so called ‘golden age’ is more of a gilded age. The top 0.1% getting richer, and everyone else suffering. Something similar happened in late 18th century France. They cured it.
The Resistance CO15You mean this regime is cooking the books like the Felon in Chief? Consider me shocked and a little more concerned than Susan.

Dropped Mike4gosh I can’t imagine they would have lied…
drmerle PhD 🇨🇦 💙 DM off,don't ask for$, or sell stuff2Canada adds 75,000 jobs in July Excellent performance but the year over year data is even better! All of Canada's job gains over the past year came from the Private sector while the Public sector declined.
Piratebill 🇨🇦 ☠️2So the the markets keep rising?
If you were looking for good news in today's employment report, you would emphasize the unemployment rate falling to 4.1%, a 2-year low. But this doesn't reflect job growth. The participation rate is plummeting.
I personally know so many underemployed recent college grads (not for lack of effort) and also 55+ involuntarily unemployed who are giving up on finding comparable jobs.
Fleur_de_Linguist4Thank you for providing clarity. People are really struggling out here.
Jeff Ryder3So, retiring boomers and reduced immigration?
Betsy Cazden3Do you have any fine print on the lower participation rate? Is this people with advanced degrees who've lost solid professional jobs and there aren't any comparable jobs available due to funding cuts? Or immigrants staying home due to ICE? Or women quitting b/c the daycare has closed?
agateboy.bsky.social2not even close to keeping up with attrition. Boomers continue to retire and companies are just simply not replacing them.
Hank2Is the DOL justified in lowering the participation rate? I can understand that job seekers get frustrated and drop out of the labor force. But, this also seems like a judgement number that can be manipulated.

Grumpy Zeus12Apparently an economy can't live on data centers, crypto, and private prisons alone.
Skeety Marinky Dinky Dink3Given the economy he was handed and the investment boom due to AI it takes some really impressive fucking up to be where we are.
Mr.Eddie89761“BLS delivers, Baby!” He makes all those calls to Warsh How many calls does he make to BLS? Hint: “I just need you to find me 11,780 votes” Wait til we get the unexpected cooler CPI next week “See, we don’t need to hike rates. There’s no inflation” Count on it
Kevin Kelly1Kevin hASSett with his lies and smirk in 3...2...1
Grizzled Shopkeep1And of course this is still likely an undercount of jobs lost since Trump's war on numbers. Just suffice it to say that even with doctored numbers by whoever's running the Bureau of Labor Statistics his "best month" for job growth was nowhere near Biden's average month.
Mannwich1When does the current BLS chief get canned? In fact, when do they start reporting no jobs numbers at all?
23k jobs lost in July were all from women… By design of project 2025…
chlexfan.bsky.social5They want us barefoot and pregnant and dependent on the men. Taking care of the home and the kids and of course the man.

NevaUfear*3Well, one thing for sure, they are determined to destroy everything.And everyone that does not serve the white male narcissist , selfish mentality.
Jenn Wilson3My white sisters refused to see that we were next. Everyone told them we were next. They refused to believe it or thought they’d be Ballerina Farms millionaires. It’s just embarrassing.

En Buen Ora10I just don't quite understand how people expected horrible things like the war in the Gulf and the blockage of Hormuz to go on forever and the markets would keep pretending like our special boy was doing okay and none of it would ever impact anybody.
Jeremy Wood9“Unexpectedly” is doing a lot of work here.

Jobs are down and costs are up. The Trump economy is doing NOTHING to help working families. www.cnn.com/2026/08/07/e...
Brian Smith1Hey House Dems, "economy" is a fairly neutral word, so "Trump economy" isn't a terribly strong phrase to use. Maybe something like "Trump slump"? Also, Trump is a criminal who is using the office to commit many crimes. Trump is stealing from Americans.
Martin Robertson1If he ignores elections and won't leave, what is the plan?
The ‘Trump Slump’⬇️ US unexpectedly lost 23,000 jobs in July as *slump in growth continues | US unemployment and employment data | The Guardian
Just_jammin23Ooh he’s gonna hate phrase - the trump slump. I like it because it’s accurate.
Luigi V2The continuing destruction of our nation both economically & militarily is reaching critical levels. Without a major change in the government it will only get worse. The upcoming election must take place at any cost. Begin to prepare now!
ghermy.bsky.social2Was it really "unexpected " tho
Handsome Gollum1“Unexpectedly” the US economy hasn’t collapsed completely by now…
