    How about the downward revision of 600k jobs for 2024? Maybe assign those to Kamala.

    "blazing hot economy"

    Everyone knew it was a crap economy, that's one of the reasons Trump was elected. Job openings dropped by 556,000 in December. December had the second largest trade deficit in history. New order's for durable goods down 4 out of 5 months. Imports surged 3.9%, exports plunged 4.5%. Democrats burned down LA. Democrats pouring money down the drain in Ukraine. Massive deficits. Democrats imported millions of illegals and put them on welfare. Healthcare and Medicaid spending out of control


    It would take Trump and Elon 2 terms to clean up this mess.

    Crazy with all that going on, Trump has already managed to make it worse for every American. That's incredible.

    This thread is ignorance to the core. This jobs report uses data accumulated through mid January. Trump took office after this. The data in this report is Biden’s last weeks in office. And also proves how the American public was continually lied to about prior jobs reports with yet another huge downward revision. Come on man!

    Jobs have been scarce since Trump was elected. Companies are cutting back in anticipation of a tough environment. His own words "there will be pain".

    We are a multibillion corporation with tens of thousands of employees and are cutting expenses and staffing this year which we havent done since that first covid year.

    Good luck America.

    that’s why Dear Leader wants to control these numbers. This might be the last accurate report we get.

    Is there a reason that none of the MAGA posters have come in to say that we need to wait for the revised numbers?

    The voters knew where Biden/Harris were taking the economy?

    Trump was elected 3 months ago and the numbers reflect companies bracing for recession caused by what Trump said he was going to do.

    So far, Trump has mostly chickened out and his multiple tariffs have lasted about 15 minutes each, so I guess we will see if this pattern holds or if companies start to recognize that emperor has no clothes.

    What is the "New" definition of recession these days? Didn't they change it a couple of years ago when they said two consecutive quarters of negative growth is not considered a recession anymore?
