    Its definitely not booming for entry level jobs…my high-school aged kid has applied for over 100 jobs…nothing

    From the article:

    >Immigrants left the labor force in 2025, but U.S.-born workers aren’t enjoying a jobs boom, according to government data and economists.

    My coworkers and I who were laid off in 2024 disagree. Many of us had to change industries/careers to pay the bills, with a huge pay cut.

    Facts matter here are the layoffs for 2025 of major companies:

    Amazon — approximately 14,000 corporate roles (largest single round in company history, focused on bureaucracy reduction)

    Intel — approximately 24,000 jobs (major restructuring, aiming to reduce core workforce by ~15-25%)

    Verizon — more than 13,000 jobs (primarily non-union management, cost structure limits)

    Microsoft — around 9,100 U.S. jobs (trimming middle management, shifting to AI/cloud focus)

    UPS — approximately 48,000 jobs (turnaround strategy, broad operational cuts)

    Meta — several thousand (ongoing rounds, including AI unit adjustments)

    Google — multiple rounds (hundreds to thousands across cloud, sales, and devices teams)

    Salesforce — approximately 4,000 jobs (customer support division, AI pivot)

    IBM — approximately 3,900 roles (legacy IT services, shifting to AI/hybrid cloud)

    Starbucks — about 1,100 corporate roles (streamlining, no impact on baristas/store staff)

    Target — approximately 1,800 corporate roles (offset stagnant sales)

    Not even counting the 300k he forced out in the fed government. 

  5. Unemployment for Black Americans is now at 8.3%. I’m sure the 15% of those who voted for Trump are regretting it.

    What in the actual fuck is he talking about? Says who? Where is the proof? All I see is no jobs available, more and more people losing their jobs and the prices of things getting more and more expensive.

    I have sent out hundreds of applications over the past 10 months and can’t get a call back.

    The IT industry is flooded with unemployed people at the moment.

    It really sucks.  I might not have a degree but I have a decade of experience.  I just want to make at least $75k fully remote. 

  8. Title should just be “Trump continues to lie about job market.” Seriously the media most of the time refuse to call Trump out for his constant lies by refusing the accurate term of “lie”.

    his mouth keeps moving and telling lies but the US-born do not believe a god damn word he says.

    I just wish some press corp would press him for the data to prove his claim. he claims bullshit everyday. His people are failing him. Susie Wiles will is his downfall. Pretty sure she’s feeding him daily. She’s only looking out for her ambitions after Trump leaves office.

    I wonder how many “Trump says ___, but he lied” news headlines there are now.

  12. alabasterskim on

    There is no data source that filters by “US-born”.

    What he means is, for the wealthy, whose job of being in control is always secure.

  13. I lost my job because of Trump, and now I’m 6 months out of being laid off and no jobs to be found.

  14. CokBlockinWinger on

    I have a resume that includes Director positions and a VP of Production role, and can’t find Jack shit.

  15. KevinDean4599 on

    Any statement that begins with Trump days can immediately be dismissed as bullshit.

  16. I have 3 people in my social circle that have worked their whole adult lives (50ish) that have been pushed out of the work force from AI , lay offs or down sizing…all 3 haven’t been able to find a job for an average of 5 months , all are drawing unemployment (witch is a pittance , BUT GOOD) and to do that , a person “has” to put in many , many job applications and go to In person meetings…all 3 need to (and want to ) work to help support their spouse and family….one hasn’t even been called for an in house interview in 18 weeks….!
    The president is a fucking lier and doesn’t live in reality….Mar-a-lago parties and golf games ….he doesn’t shop , drive , or worry about money (except how to grift it)….he’s delusional in my opinion….!

    Bull f-ing shit. There are so many qualified smart people out there who can’t get a job. Rich people keep saying, “Get more training in fields that are needed.” They did, and still no jobs. Also, what about the people who can’t afford said training? Oh wait, they don’t care. Oh well, more poverty and lining the pockets of the wealthy.
