10. Anytime the jobs number under Biden was 200,000 or less, a recession was coming.

Now 114,000 is a "strong performance" and "robust." There were 74,000 less jobs in April and May through downward revisions. That means we have 17,000 less jobs after this report than before it. So far through his second term, 90% of jobs habe gone to women, 642,000 versus 74,000; all net job creation is in healthcare and social assistance while the rest of the economy has lost jobs, +945,900 versus -229,900; and 75,000 of those job losses have come in manufacturing. So much for Trump's tariffs causing a manufacturing jobs boom.
