You’ve got to wonder how real this is. The same report lowered the 2025 total growth from 584,000 to 151,000.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

One of the purposes of tariffs was to spur manufacturing. So far it isnt happening. All Employees, Manufacturing . Growth in employment is in medical and other areas. Manufacturing is continuing down slightly, thought that continues a trend that started in 2023.
I'm still not sure how much the tariff effects have shown up yet. It seems like they are more useful as a way for Trump to brow-beat other countries than to spur manufacturing. But I'm still suggesting that we wait until late this year to judge the effects, because of the long delays in the system. My gut feeling is that if there are positive effects, they wouldn't occur unless it looked like they were going to survive for a long time. Trump's tendency to change them as his feelings change means most companries aren't going to rely on them as a basis for long-term investment.
Our past low-tariff approach was bi-partisan. I think today both parties are having buyer's remorse, so I don't think a future bipartisan approach will be what it was before Trump. But for positive effects to occur we need a new long-term bipartisan agreement.

Prior to seeing an uptick in manufacturing jobs, the construction of new manufacturing sites must be completed. The"All Employees, Construction" data looks good so far:
All Employees, Construction
Graph and download economic data for All Employees, Construction (USCONS) from Jan 1939 to Jan 2026 about establishment survey, construction, employment, and USA.

The 10% or higher happened thanks to Biden.
See above.
Sure did.
Seems like the libs were the only ones who thought ge could do it on day one. The rest of us knew it would only start to be soved on day one and would take time because the libs would fight him every step of the way. Yet he still is moving forward and bringing inflation down.

No it happened because the Trump and Biden response to the pandemic involved huge federal stimulus spending. (And some pandemic scarcity).

LOL, even the right leaning Rasmussen poll (in fact all polls) note Americans favor Biden's job performance over Trump's.

One thing we don't have to wait on is retaliatory actions by other countries because of tariffs. Those are real, and are resoundingly negative to America.

Hopefully those numbers are not revised down like much of 2025 was. Most might like too that Federal employment has been driven down substantially over Trump's first year.
