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/
MeidasTouch618And 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-Brewer37But we have the best economy in the history of histories. Everybody is talking about it and wants to do business with us.
Trish 🇨🇦 Sorry! 🍁31Canada will soon have American migrants crossing the border.
Pruit Igoe22And since jobs reports are always fluffed you know the November report is going to adjust this one down to almost nothing if not negative.
Middlerage17Tracks. Trump is also a DISASTER.
Sue in Rockville 💙🦋💙🦋💙🦋15A dismal Jobs report & more proof that TRUMP FAILED US MAGA/GOP FAILED US 1-ECONOMY “Only 29K jobs & 4.2% unemployment Revisions to August ⬇️ July ⬇️ In total 60,000 fewer jobs than previously reported” 2-IRAN WAR DEBACLE 3-PRICES KEEP GOING ⬆️ STOP VOTING FOR MISERY #VoteBlueToSaveUS
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 Bader20Only billionaires have profited Are people waking up?
Grumpy Zeus7Trumponomics in all its gory.
Carey7And this is the best they came up with when cooking the books?
Medusa’s Snakes6There 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.social5And let's face it, if this data is coming from the current administration, the actual numbers are worse.
I was on TV once...4She 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 Joe81"You're bullshitting and I expected that." (corrected transcription)
Dorri27I can’t be the only one that would like to slap that smirk off his face as he delivers lies and propaganda.
gainesm.bsky.social20Trumponomics is working if the goal was to start a Great Depression 2.0
milominder18It's like a parellel universe populated by roaring idiots.
EARNED MY SPURS & UNABLE TO CURB MY CUSSING 🐎14I read that as "You're bullshit", which is a fair more appropriate assessment
Middlerage10You mean YOU ARE BULLSHIT!
@NewsJennifer (Jennifer Schulze)21It’s almost like Hassett fears being locked out of the White House if he even tip toes towards the truth.
julibluesky6"Trumponomics is really working" What kind of Vodka are they drinking?? bsky.app/profile/atru...
@GottaLaff6He's also very very lying.
Linda Noel2Translation: "You're fucking nuts, Smarmy, but we know that already".
Wendell Albright2bullish, bullshitty, so very close to one another
Strictly 4 My Navigators2He stays with a smirk on his face.....
Chef Chuck2This administration is happy when they are destroying America. ✊🏼💙
🔥FireInsp🔥🇺🇸🇺🇦🇨🇦💙2One of the greatest spin masters on the planet… He would smile and eat a trump shit sandwich and tell you it’s delicious, just to boost his masters failures…👇
Texting Menace2Huh. Kevin Hassett thinks it's great news. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Trump & Republicans inherited an improving economy and drove it straight into a ditch. September: 29,000 jobs instead of the expected 90,000. Another 60,000 jobs vanished in revisions. Wages rose 0.1%; the worst in 5 years. They broke it. Make them own every ugly number at the ballot box.
American Veritas1Gas prices, food prices, rent, mortgage rates ALL have risen under GOP. Inflation, unemployment & farm bankruptcies ALL up. Another costly war! MAGA says - Affordability's a HOAX! Work HARDER, longer & give THEM 2 more years. What say you, everyday Americans? Are we great YET?
olibee.bsky.social1Havent you noticed? This typical of the GOP. Every democratic administration leaves a good economy and the Repuglicand ALWAYS drives it into the ground.
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.
S(pooky)6I 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.
Immune to Boredom1Market will pop. Less options for the proles is one of their favorite things. The real wage decline will also give them wood.
Fox News rushes to pivot from a disappointing jobs report to culture wars ASMR — blaming “woke stunts” for restructuring at Nike.
Media Matters for America33“Maybe [Nike] should just start loving America again” www.mediamatters.org/fox-friends/...
vap2They spent 18 seconds covering the jobs report. That is about 18 seconds more than I expected.
John Ferrara1Here are the top stories on Fox News’ website right now. I see no mention of the jobs report that dropped 50 minutes ago.
Grumble Kitty1Nothing says “I love America” like shitting on an iconic American company. Unemployment is up? Let’s celebrate more people losing their jobs (thus healthcare)! They made the grave error of working at a “woke” corporation. Yay! Iconic American businesses are laying people off. 😒
Another monthly jobs report below expectations, with previous months revised down. Again I must ask, if so many months come in below expectations, doesn’t that indicate a flaw in the expecting?
Dan Murphy4A flaw in whose expecting is given the honor of setting the baseline for sure.
Tom Ward1“A Flaw in the Expecting” is a good title for a book. Or an indie band.
Some Guy Named Joe1Not when the entire corporate media system lives in that imaginary place called DonnyWorld. They are too chickenshit to report the truth.
Kim1And what about the constant revisions down of previous months? Is this normal or new with the Trump regime?
Matt Zivich1Again, blame this mostly on the war and the tariffs. Squeezing people’s pocketbooks is continuing a downward cycle. You don’t have to have a management degree to understand that we continue to live with these horrible numbers. History tells us that voting out those in power is the only option left.
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 Holler5Yes, 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
Vargulfen2If you believed any of this you would have sent money to Angie Nixon in Florida. She is polling even and has a very good chance but because she isn’t bought by aipac you refuse. You are a senator to the United States of America. Not Israel! You are betraying your oath!
NoseyNews2…Republicans’ disastrous economy. Dear Sir, PLEASE step down from leadership. I am begging you.
🇵🇷Chuck Martin2Hey, Cuck. Why don't you help Angie Nixon? She has a chance to flip Florida? Are you that beholden to your donors, or is this about retaining power within the party?
readysteadykittens.bsky.social2I have to admit, you and Hakeem and Kirsten are remarkably consistent in doing absolutely nothing to help this country turn away from oligarchy. Your legacy, should we actually survive this presidency, will be one of absolute failure and cowardice and selfishness. Please retire and go fuck yourself
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 Hjelm5November 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.
annmarie10.bsky.social1Maybe electing a convicted felon pedophile rapist wasn’t the best idea?
