U.S. adds 57,000 jobs in June, unemployment 4.2%
Today's NYT jobs report coverage (left) compared to exactly 2 years ago under Biden (right). Notice the numbers.
Jared Wade337And compared to Reuters today:
kevinmcnamee.bsky.social194Both voters and the US press have deeply internalized the wildly inaccurate notion that Republicans are better for the economy.

Jim Rockford66And from within their own story. "GLACIAL"
KurtRexCooper561/4 the job growth and it’s great. What a sycophant the NYT is now. 😢
Go Ask Alice49Media played a huge role in the downfall of this country, and they continue to prop up the fascists
Greg Pak87The NYT serves this regime.

Laura Veach657k vs. 206k It's not just his dingle that's smaller than average... bsky.app/profile/ziog...
Mark Thompson5They are un-embarrassable. Their fingers aren’t on the scale…AT ALL.
BillThePony3I'm glad someone else is doing this because I got tired of pointing it out every month 🔥
Mike Makowsky3I know this is supposed to show bias, but the NYT is trying to maximize clicks/shares/subscribes. What this tells me is that the reward function for headlines has shifted from "stoke their pessismism at all costs" to "things are so obviously terrible they will share any silver lining we hand them"
Zach Halper3Special Rules for One Special Boy
Kev O’Content Jr.2I’m thankful that my college communications degree made me learn about the concept of framing. You can see it everywhere nowadays.
Ira Hyman2Under Trump 50k jobs is great. Under Biden 200k jobs was weak. NY Times works for Trump?
JUST IN: Disappointing June jobs report under Trump. The U.S. added just 57,000 jobs — well below the 115,000 expected. Hospitality lost 61,000 jobs. April and May numbers revised down by 74,000. Wage growth (3.5%) is lagging behind inflation (~4%). Trump’s economy is stalling.
𝔻𝕁 𝕊𝕦𝕓𝕥𝕖𝕣𝕣𝕒𝕚𝕟14"Hospitality lost 61,000 jobs" Obviously nothing to do with the nosedive in tourist numbers thanks to Herr Trump alienating the entire planet?
🔵Blue Dot Buckeye🔵10Top contributing factors: -Trump’s tariffs -⬇️ tourism due to decreased numbers of foreign visitors -⬇️ domestic travel due to Affordability crisis -Deportations have further beleaguered the industry by directly depleting the immigrant labor supply that many hotels and restaurants rely on.
Stretch Cunningham9Meanwhile over at the New York Times: bsky.app/profile/ziog...
Bald disc golfing daddy8When hospitality falls that is an indicator of a decline in discretionary spending as well as tightening of corporate travel budgets. The trend is clear. The squeeze is on.
Dona Dickinson7Happy Trump Recession™️ to all who celebrate! The orange demon has done it again! Destroyed a thriving economy. Again. Guess it would have been better if more folks would have voted for the Black lady.
Jane Flames 🔥5These numbers are hot garbage and yet they still don't capture the depth of suffering happening in so many communities across the nation. It also doesn't capture the indifference of Trump and his co-conspirators.
Pam Keith26The MAGA admin: post numbers that are bad but credible. Wait two months. Then quietly revise those numbers down. And those numbers will also be artificially high. People looking for a job know how bad this economy is. The numbers don’t tell the story.
Mark Thompson15Looks like Trump’s war on tourism is succeeding.
Rep. Zoe Lofgren4Another disappointing jobs report. Trump will try to blame others, but his own staff says this is his economy.
MantaHunk 🌎🏳️🌈☮️🟧4Gosh golly gee whiz, what are all those red lines?
jopama2and those downward correction from the previous two months is startling.
US added 57,000 jobs in June. Should've been 57,001 'cause we all know LeBron's gonna be alright.
📎🇨🇦2 Wheeled Thug🇨🇦 🇺🇦🇺🇳 DM’S from following/followers only.6I love, how at the end of every school year, they trot out the increase in job numbers and claim it was their parties doing. They think we so incredibly stupid we don’t get that it’s summer work for students. Happens every summer since kids went to school. Well, tbf, none of them held summer jobs.
ironfan72.bsky.social6Only 57,000, thats pretty bad, even with the numbers being inflated by the department of propaganda
Chris Barks6Those are the made up figures to please. The revised figures in a month will show a net loss.
Duggnutt6think about this - 57,000 jobs added in June is just a little better than 1,100 jobs in each state. It's the kick off to summer & vacations & camps & outdoor activities but yet each state maybe only added 1,100 jobs. That is BAD. Add that 700,000 fell off the unemployment count and it's rlly BAD
Aoife3No it did not. But cool everyone's already falling for the propaganda. The numbers are what they were TOLD to publish and not by actual statistics.
bshecks2Maybe he'll take his talents to South Beach, again?
June job numbers are dismal. Only 57,000 jobs added. Considering these numbers are surely overstated, we’ve most likely been in a Trump recession for the past 6-9 months.
Darwin Woodka5A recession propped up only by the AI bubble which is about to burst. We're so screwed.
ironsharky4and 720,000 people left the work force, thus a tiny decrease in the unemployment rate. people who leave are no longer counted.
The tech sector is bleeding jobs, the gaming industry is in full on collapse. It's not great.
Denise 🪷3Probably. But don’t worry he will stop the agencies from reporting stats so you won’t know you can’t afford to live.
Dona Dickinson1The layover on the way to the GREATEST TRUMPIAN DEPRESSION ™️.
Queen Thicctoria IV1And those jobs are most likely in the repossession field!
All told, the U.S. economy has added 668,000 jobs over Trump’s 18-month second term. Over the previous 18 months, the economy added over 2.4 million jobs. To date, the White House hasn’t even tried to explain why the job market worsened after Trump took office. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
keeblerd.bsky.social5They don’t defend it bc they don’t care. As long as the oligarchs are doing great that is all that matters to this administration.
Itgetzbybuckner1Because they know Tariffs are anti-growth. But Tariffs allow them to personally profit thru payoffs. Trump and friends get their tribute. It's why Bessent can so easily lie when he goes on TV a) he goes on friendly shows only b) hes making huge bank personally
morey0001Oooh…ooooh [hand raised waiving wildly in the air]. I can explain why!!!!
Only 57,000 Jobs Added in June - The Wall Street Journal. Under Biden in 2024, job growth was 168, 000
Judy Weston3Republican have never been good for America. Worse now, as Trump is rubbing America in plain sight and pocketing billions. The entire Republican Party is complicit in the treasonous acts of a traitor while engaged in the most vile coverup in U.S. history—child rape.
Charlie Dog!2And I wouldn't even believe the 57,000 -- I don't believe any of the numbers coming out of the fascist gov.
lynne41.bsky.social1Fake News. The Wall Street Journal is Fake News. And it’s Biden’s fault that Trump’s numbers are so low. And Obama’s. If those two just hadn’t been good presidents, Trump wouldn’t look so bad. It’s all their fault. The Whiner in Chief!’
Unemployment ticked down to 4.2% in June, but it fell for the wrong reason. Labor force participation dropped to 61.5%, the lowest since 2021. People aren't finding jobs — they're quitting the job market all together.

Art Martin1the NYT---which was relentless in attacking Biden over inflation (during a global pandemic and global supply chain problems)--always puts on a sunny face for Trump and lies to its readers about the economy bsky.app/profile/nyti...
June 2024- 206,000 jobs "U.S. Job Growth Extends Streak, but Signs of Concern Emerge" July 2024 - 114,000 jobs "Job Market Slows Significantly, Raising Economic Jitters" .... June 2026 - 57,000 jobs (with #economists predicting 115,000) - "U.S. Hiring Continues at Steady Pace...wage gains solid" 🤔
Soumya Rangarajan, MD, MPP41"The labor force participation rate fell to 61% for June, 0.3 percentage point lower than in May and the lowest since March 2021" Hey, is it good and "steady" that we have the lowest #laborforce rate since peak Delta wave of #COVID19?
Dr. Garrett Schumann2it is a steady pace, steadily bad
Lucy2If you would’ve told me that I couldn’t even get an interview at McDonald’s or Walmart here up in Northern Michigan, I would’ve said you were full of crap. Everything is so dire up here.
mtsw859The key difference is that they wanted Biden to lose and they want Trump to win and rule over us.
The Gray Matters Report4institutionally the NYT has always supported Trump
Eric Panzer3While much of BlueSky and the broader left has been prestidigitated into prioritizing concerns about how AI will impact the information space, I remain chiefly worried about how legacy/corporate media continue to consciously manipulate public opinion to benefit their oligarchical ownership
Made it back from daycare! Payrolls +57k vs +113k exp +172k prev -74k 2m net revision Unemployment rate 4.2% vs 4.3% exp/4.3% prev
George Pearkes36UST rallying, dollar selling off, equity index future session highs
Gee4Did someone have early access to the crop report?
Bark3How does payroll growth miss plus a downward revision but unemployment beats? Just more people than expected leaving the labor market or is there something else that affects it?
Gee1Maybe not quite as strong a rebound as we were hoping for...
Pivotal Profits157K payrolls against 113K expected with a 74K downward revision: that's not a miss, that's a message. The labor market the Fed has been defending just showed its hand. Rate cut timeline moves forward; bond zones and dollar zones are the first reaction to watch. $SPY $TLT #trading
MC Nietzsche1Checking in on enemy territory to see how this is being covered
Ed29bad news, folks, he's unsupervised
The US economy added just 57,000 jobs in June, half of what economists expected. The unemployment rate FELL to 4.2%. That sounds like good news until you see why. 720,000 people left the labor force last month. When someone stops looking for work, the government stops counting them as unemployed.
Andrew Lokenauth | TheFinanceNewsletter.com3557,000 jobs added. 720,000 people gone. The rate dropped because workers gave up. April and May were also revised down by a combined 74,000 jobs. Hiring is stuck in a few corners of the economy (healthcare, business services, social assistance). Almost everything else is flat or shrinking.
🦄 Dammit Janet 🔥🏴2🎯 and the idiot crew can't even conceive that ... education matters!!
Realbutterplease1When the government’s numbers don’t match real life, somebody’s full of shit.
U.S. employers added 57,000 jobs in June and the unemployment rate dipped to 4.2 percent. Data: www.bls.gov/news.release... Full coverage: www.nytimes.com/live/2026/07... #NumbersDay
Ben Casselman23April and May's gains were both revised down somewhat, by a combined 74,000 jobs.
BK5Why did the push notification from the NYTimes described this as "steady", when under Biden quadruple the amount of Job growth was usually described as sluggish?
Smoochy Rhino2Yeah, well, I’m more than a little suspicious of any & everything that Trump’s BLS puts out.
TheSquare1Biden averaged 316,000 jobs per month and dropped the unemployment rate from 6.7 to 4.1%. It’s all Biden’s fault that he set the bar so high.
Lexi "Pro-Democracy" 💙1It is Summer!! Is no one hiring for Summer jobs? This just seems super low to me and we are hosting the World Cup too!!
Ben Casselman24Charts! Starting with the big picture: Job growth slowed in June (and April/May were revised down), but the pickup in hiring this year remains intact. #NumbersDay
Naomi3I love trying to find a job in this economy 🙃
Lord Chris Hanrahan (He/Him)3This brought to you buy the same administration that reports Trump is 6'3".
