U.S. economy only adds 73,000 jobs in July 2025; Big downward revision (258,000 jobs!) for previous two months; Trump fires Commissioner of BLS

[Sir Richard Spirit]

You can bet anything you want. Iam telling what the Feds concern is. Their concern is inflation. I attached an article about it. And don't try to change the reason Trump fired Federal workers. He fired them on that deep state project 2025 bullshyt to find savings to extend the tax cuts.

Said it before but wait til October when all those federal workers who took the DRP aren’t getting paid to just sit at home anymore. I’ve had 3 people close to me since this admin started lose their jobs in different areas. 2 still looking for something. shyt will get worse.

From the BLS jobs report today:

Federal government employment continued to decline in July (-12,000) and is down by 84,000
since reaching a peak in January. (Employees on paid leave or receiving ongoing severance pay
are counted as employed in the establishment survey.)

An increase of 46,000 jobs in hospitality and leisure points to high school and college kids getting part time Summer jobs in places like amusement parks, golf courses, swimming pools and hotels/resorts, etc. A few other areas also point to seasonal type hiring. So private hiring in July is not as solid as it appears either.

Seasonally adjust jobs that BLS reports show all the added jobs in July were from healthcare and social services:

12 months. Over the month, job gains occurred in ambulatory health care services (+34,000) and
hospitals (+16,000).

Social assistance employment continued to trend up in July (+18,000)

We were discussing the ADP report not the BLS report. Go back and read the post I responded to.

It's never going back to the way things were, certainly not in our lifetimes.
The American electorate is too right wing and reactionary now and won't vote for any of that. We might be under MAGA control for 40 years.

Too many dummies.

Founding Fathers didn’t think there’d be this many dumb people. Nobody learned from history.

To be fair, it's not like they could've anticipated social media and how dumb/reactionary/bigoted it makes people.

IMO it's the root cause of a lot of dysfunction in society. At this point I'm convinced the human brain isn't equipped to deal with it I think most people old enough to remember the world pre-social media would agree, it wasn't really like this in the 2000s. There were always stupid/racist people but the Internet just makes it too easy for them to congregate and spread their BS.

Jobs are dead and inflation on the verge of growing.

Maybe ~3 days before he blames Biden and Democrats?

And Trump thinks Powell will lower interest rates in this environment with passive aggressive remarks and footstamping.

Again, healthcare wins and it’ll only get stronger as the situation worsens.

Medicaid is getting cut by $1 trillion over the next decade to pay for tax cuts for the rich. Not going to be as rosy for healthcare

When Powell leaves next May all hell gonna break loose.

ADP actually shows job gains in the private sector of 104,000. So this means 30,000 government jobs were lost in July alone for the BLS numbers to be 74,000.

This definitely tracks. 3,500 federal jobs were lost in Maryland alone last month.
