The job market just delivered another gut punch to hardworking Americans. Private companies only added 54,000 jobs in August, way below the 65,000 experts expected. This pathetic number shows our economy is heading in the wrong direction fast.
Just six months ago, we were adding 200,000 jobs per month. Three months ago, it dropped to 100,000 jobs. Now we’re down to a measly 54,000 jobs. That’s a 150,000 job drop per month compared to where we should be.
The so-called experts blame “uncertainty” for this mess. They point to labor shortages, scared consumers, and AI taking over jobs. But the real problem is failed liberal policies that are crushing American businesses and workers.
Small businesses are getting hammered by endless regulations and sky-high costs. When government makes it too expensive to hire people, guess what happens? Companies stop hiring. This is basic economics that Democrats refuse to understand.
The leisure and hospitality sector did add 50,000 jobs, which is good news. Construction also grew with 16,000 new jobs. But manufacturing lost 7,000 jobs, and trade and transportation dropped 17,000 jobs. These are the backbone industries that built America.
Pay did go up 4.4 percent from last year, but that’s cold comfort when inflation is eating up family budgets. Higher wages don’t mean much when everything costs more at the grocery store and gas pump.
This job slowdown will hurt corporate profits and push unemployment higher. Home prices could drop as fewer people have steady work. The ripple effects will hit every American family trying to make ends meet.
We need pro-business policies that get government out of the way. Cut regulations, lower taxes, and let American companies do what they do best – create jobs and build wealth. Our workers deserve better than this failing economy.
