Powell: Job creation is near zero [View all]

The title says it all. The tariffs, the trickle down on steroids, DOGE and the decimation of gov't workers and research, the ICE attacks on vibrant cities, the attacks on industries he doesn't approve of, the attacks on our most productive (Blue) states, the kneecapping of the ACA....etc...

This is the Tramp GOP economy.

"Effectively, there's zero net job creation in the private sector," after accounting for revisions over the past six months, Powell said. "But actually, that looks like that's about what the economy needs, in terms of dealing with very, very low — nonexistent, really — growth in the labor force, which of course we've never had in our history."
