September jobs report: U.S. adds 29,000 jobs, unemployment 4.2%
🚨 The last jobs report before the midterms is a disaster. Just 29,000 jobs added in September. Unemployment rose to 4.2%. July was revised down to a LOSS of 10,000 jobs, while August was revised down by 29,000 jobs, from 162,000 to 133,000. 1/
MeidasTouch302And wages grew just 3% over the past year, while inflation ran around 3.4%. Even Fox Business admitted: “The numbers do not look good.”
Drewcifer-Brewer11But we have the best economy in the history of histories. Everybody is talking about it and wants to do business with us.
Pruit Igoe8And since jobs reports are always fluffed you know the November report is going to adjust this one down to almost nothing if not negative.
Middlerage8Tracks. Trump is also a DISASTER.
Melinda here 4 the defeat of evil 🛑 this shit 💙🤬6They can’t even get the original numbers right so 29,000 will probably actually be
ri-ndex.bsky.social5This is actually amazing to me because I assume they are cooking the books.
Sen Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) on jobs report: “Trump’s economy has only added 33,000 jobs a month on average, far below the 120,000-a-month average in 2024. At the same time, paychecks are growing at their slowest rate in nearly 7 years”
Diedrich Bader10Only billionaires have profited Are people waking up?
Grumpy Zeus5Trumponomics in all its gory.
Carey5And this is the best they came up with when cooking the books?
Medusa’s Snakes4There are 31,713 post offices in the US. So, that’s about a whole job per zip code. Blistering pace. If you’re an inch worm.
kstrand.bsky.social3And let's face it, if this data is coming from the current administration, the actual numbers are worse.
I was on TV once...2She is great but also why Dems lose She will use 50 words when 5 will do People are dumb. Very dumb. Keep it simple Liz
Kevin Hassett responds to a bad September jobs report: "If you look at the data from this week, it's proving that Trumponomics is really working ... we're very very happy" The Fox News host responds by saying "you'll bullish and I expected that"
Some Guy Named Joe53"You're bullshitting and I expected that." (corrected transcription)
Dorri14I can’t be the only one that would like to slap that smirk off his face as he delivers lies and propaganda.
milominder12It's like a parellel universe populated by roaring idiots.
EARNED MY SPURS & UNABLE TO CURB MY CUSSING 🐎12I read that as "You're bullshit", which is a fair more appropriate assessment
gainesm.bsky.social12Trumponomics is working if the goal was to start a Great Depression 2.0
Middlerage8You mean YOU ARE BULLSHIT!
The jobs report isn't that big a deal in itself - just one month. If anything it takes a bit of pressure off demands for rate tightening. But in political terms it's not remotely the data point the White House wanted for the final month of the campaign.
S6I guess our fears about BLS not being reliable after they purged the former director were overblown?
Sir Rants Alot4Don't forget the revisions bsky.app/profile/redh...
moreacomment.bsky.social2Am I right in my impression that this used to be a bigger deal politically? It’s part of the big pivot from data to vibes.
westvillagecrank.bsky.social2But will any of the press corps press the point the next time they throw questions at the tyrant?
Karl Zimmerman1Honestly, I don't think a 150,000+ gain reported would help Trump now. Certainly a worse report could've just reinforced the omnishambles narrative, however. Worst part of the report by far was 12-month wage growth slowing to only 3%. That's gonna sting when we get CPI on the 14th.
Higher interest rates, rising costs, and no jobs. American families are being squeezed on all sides by Trump’s disastrous economy. abcnews.com/Business/job...
Are you a reporter now? Or, it reads like Joe Friday opening an episode of Dragnet (you remember Dragnet). I’m desperate to hear what Dems would do differently. What plans they have. Are you imagining a better future? What does that look like? Use your words.
Madeline Holler2Yes, yes we know. We know that. That is all something we know. What we don’t know is why you’re withholding funding from campaigns for candidates who have plans, the fight and uncompromised relationships (eg daughters who work for OpenAI) and can bring real change
September 2026 jobs report is disappointing—borderline brutal. Sept job creation: +29,000 Unemployment: 4.2% (+0.1 from last month) Wages YoY: +3.0% (below inflation) Aug job creation: +133,000 (revised down -29,000) July job creation: -10,000 (revised down -31,000) www.cnbc.com/2026/10/02/j...
Craig Harrington4*reposting this because of a substantive typo, there are two "29,000s" in the report and I had the wrong sign on one of them.

🗽LOLGOP🗽31And verily, the worst stuff Republican passed has not even begun yet. Just the sugar high of tax cuts for rich.
@GottaLaff6"Let's vote for Trump because he'll run the country like a business."
2strong2silence.bsky.social4So they swore all the jobs Joe Biden’s economy created were fake inflated numbers. Any words on these? Again how The GOP has brain washed people into thinking their good on economic issues is simply amazing
The economy is garbage. Republicans claim they need more time to fix the economy they and their Dear Leader destroyed. Don’t give it to them! www.cnn.com/2026/10/02/e...
Kjell Hjelm3November 4th the ”reconstruction 2.0” starts: 1. People need to be held accountable for the corruption and in some cases go to jail (charge them in states not federally - no pardons can save them) 2. Immediately start working on affordability issues 3. Create a long term vision for the US
Judy Weston2Republicans have NEVER been good for America. Trump did NOT make America great his first go ‘round and it’s definitely NOT his intent to do so now. We know Republicans don’t deserve another chance. The unknown is how unpatriotic and idiotic their voters will choose and continue to be.
Veteran Fighting For Democracy2I don't believe jack shit what the Republicans say about jobs added. The USA is losing jobs fast and employers are not hiring. This number will eventually be revised down.
