Despite massive recruitment for ICE and concentration camp guards, the job market in the US is shrinking.

Commercial jobs are down, and only because the government is offering a huge number of jobs in security and policing, it seems to be less than expected.

However, there's more going on. The number of migrants in the US is decreasing significantly. Trump wants that, but what's also disappearing is a whole bunch of taxpayers who had jobs that Americans don't want to fill. Those migrants who have disappeared were also consumers, and local shops will feel the pinch. We're also seeing more and more farmers complaining about the fact that their crops can't be sold.

The figures for July have already been revised downward and are in the red. August was just barely positive, but I already predict that the revision will also bring the figures negative.

A growing economy requires a job increase of 75,000 to 120,000 per month.

We're already seeing a negative figure for July. August currently shows an increase of 22,000, but I expect this figure to be revised negative in September as well.

I think the US economy, despite all of Trump's attempts to manipulate the figures, is going to take a huge hit. The Fed is going to lower interest rates, but is caught between inflation and recession. I fear there's no sweet spot left to be found. Thanks to Trump.
