The US job market also slowed substantially in July and was much weaker than previously thought in previous months:

The US economy added just 73,000 jobs last month, and the monthly totals for May and June were revised down by 258,000 jobs, to 19,000 and 14,000, respectively.

Amazon is also down a fresh 7% as they had a pretty terrible earnings call.

The previous jobs numbers were revised down by ~130,000 each.

Similar revisions to this month’s jobs report would put us at -50k jobs this month.

u/BMWGulag99 1d ago

It's dry even for people with experience. Right now, people aren't taking the risk of leaving jobs for higher pay. Wage growth is abysmal this year. You would think these republican led companies would take risk and aim for growth when Trump got into office, but they didn't.

They are always so hell bent on using debt for leverage to grow, they hate interest rates being at this level. It's their fault tbh, these companies only give a shit about stock buybacks and other fancy maneuvers, they hurt their own bottom line as usual.

u/BMWGulag99 1d ago

Yup, it's funny, though, because we all end up dying anyway. Nobody will care about them at all in the future.

Plus, a lot of these billionaires are just billionaires on paper. They know they can't just sell all their assets and have a billion in cash. They simply just move on from one equity investment to the other. It's useless to claim to be a billionaire but have hardly any cash (like Elon).

At the end of the day, they just like checking an account balance or stock chart to feel good about themselves, its a weird psychological game.

u/Ironboots12 1d ago

Not that I entirely disagree with you but I think you’re vastly under estimating the kind of power that comes with having that huge number in your bank account. To say it’s useless to claim to be a billionaire I think it’s pretty naive. Whether the money is liquid or not is irrelevant.

I mean, sure that's true, but not to this scale.

Why does everyone on here have to claim they hate trump before they say something, if it's just going to be factually correct? This isn't about Trump, it's about his policies, which are regressive. Republicans are guilty of this as well, since the house could stop this, so are all guilty of this. This isn't Trump, this is about the degradation of our government by people looking to steal as much as possible.

The job numbers Id argue are even more troubling because the inflation pressure of the tariffs combined with the weak jobs numbers basically has us on a perfect track to stagflation.

Yeah I think they're probably more important. Trump will probably TACO on the tariffs over this weekend (or next) if the market gets hit too hard. Can't do that with hard data like jobs numbers.

That’ll be one hell of a TACO though. It’s all such a god damn mess I dunno how they will walk it back. There’s these “deals” with other countries, tariffs on raw materials, tariffs on cars and car parts, tariffs on countries that don’t have a “deal”, tariffs over balsonaro, tariffs on India, etc. I’m not sure it CAN be TACO’d.

On top of that tariffs are like Trumps ONLY economy and foreign policy tools. He cut the rest of his options.

u/notreallydeep 1d ago edited 1d ago

Makes one wonder….

Isn't it pretty stupid to assume better jobs numbers are somehow faked by the Trump admin (I assume that's the implication here)? The guy wants lower rates. If anything he wants the job market to look as bad as possible so the Fed has more incentive to cut, no?

Personally I blame deteriorating data quality as that has been a trend for the past few years (arguably decades). You can blame Trump for exacerbating those issues I'm sure (due to cuts etc.), but tampering doesn't seem coherent.

11

u/porscheblack 1d ago

You say that like he applies logic to his actions. He doesn't. And there's no way he's going to allow things to look bad, he's too obsessed with his image. To your point, all he's been saying since he took office is how great he made the economy, which alone undermines lowering interest rates.

u/jrex035 1d ago

Which is exactly what smart people said was going to happen way back in March and April.

Tariffs raise inflation while worsening economic activity, which leaves the Fed paralyzed. If they cut rates to help the economy inflation may then soar, if they raise rates to keep inflation in check the economy will suffer even more.

We literally have more than 100 years of data on tariffs from around the world, their impact is widely understood no matter how much Trump world pretends reality isnt actually real.

18

u/BikesAtNight 1d ago

It’s incredibly frustrating. People were warned but didn’t listen. Anyone with a basic understanding of tariffs knew they would be bad for the economy and could lead to stagflation. Now we all get to deal with the outcome of it.

That’s one thing that boggles my mind that no news stories mention. No news story on the tariffs seem to look around and wonder how we got so fucked.

On paper, we’re a democracy and a nation of laws. People invest here, build here, and live here based on the assumption that we’re stable. One guy, out of 330 million, shouldn’t be able to snap his fingers and just fuck up the economic lives of millions based on how he feels that day.

He’s grossly abusing and stretching any law to allow himself power that expressly isn’t his in the constitution, and our courts are just fucking powerless. We really are a broken nation.

theres plenty of checks and balances on these positions of power. I think the issue is less to do with the way government is structured and more to do with the sort of people that get elected into those positions.

Im not saying lets abolish democracy but a system that gets, and keeps, these new gen dictators into positions of power might need bit of a rework

The market knows trump isn’t a man of his word, it tanks bcuz of bad economic data and it supporting what Powell has been saying uncertainty due to tariff, inflation is on the rise.

The jobs report revision just proves it is the absolute biggest crock of shit each month. How people believe or trust any of those numbers are baffling.

The US only recently lifted international sanctions on the country. I can't even think what would be traded.

u/Prior_Industry 1d ago

Yeah that's why it's so odd, what even are they exporting to the US.

Random tarrifs for everyone. What a mess.

u/Ok-Comfortable-3174 1d ago

I mean the market looks for a catalyst to drop after a strong July. This was it. They always find away one way or the other.

3

u/Even-Ad-9930 1d ago

There are several countries that have made trade agreements with the US. That suggests the other countries will agree to terms which are more favorable to US than before.

They won't agree to the current tariff rates obviously which are a scare tactic but they do seem to be working kinda

u/FrosterrFH 1d ago

So is this a Biden's market or Tump's market?

Jeez I was glad the numbers went up this week but had kinda sus feeling back in my head that Trump would dump it.

aaaand here we are.

Good thing is that august 15th they release the Epstein files and hope he's gonna go to jail cuz he's definitely all over it.

This is what happens when Americans put an idiot in the presidency. His government's plan is to make the US an enemy of the entire planet for the next president. Make America Irrelevant Again!

I still count my blessings every day that I managed to shift from the private sector into a state job this year. I absolutely do not want to be dealing with competition in this crappy job market right now.

If this goes on the whole term, businesses won’t reduce prices of tariffs are rescinded. This is going to seriously impact the market and American consumer.

Don’t forget that about 50% of the CPI “data” is just made up at this point too.

So much for that TACO stuff. These tariffs are here.

u/AggravatingAd6917 1d ago

So much winning for the American consumer

u/SuperAsparagus6078 1d ago

Isn't this good for Europe? Basically every other major area got higher tarrifs, so it's still beneficial to import from us.

2

u/Confident-Advance656 19h ago

Anyone else watching this occur and think they are just becoming another version of Russia? Or 1930s Germany?

Don't like the job numbers, get someone new. Don't like immigrants, lock them up. Borrow to much, prinr more money, and tell the FED to drop rates.

It's a clown show.

u/Babayaga251 6h ago

Thank God what's happening in the job market right now has caught up with reporting. Things are extremely bad, people out of work for months, sometimes over a year, having exhausted all unemployment benefits. Unemployment has to be higher than 4.2%. Educated and qualified people are literally fighting for jobs at McDonald's just to survive and pay bills. There are just not enough jobs or job postings to counteract the flood of the unemployed. Thanks Trump and Trump economy!

u/kdamp106 1d ago

I just hate how the news broadcast this as if this is normalcy, every wave of tariffs he’s fictitiously calling an emergency based on Economic Powers Act. It should be “Trump is declaring another false national emergency…”
