Another factoid the MSM's "highly-trained professional" journalists propagandists don't mention.
...Losses of civilian jobs at the federal government reached 15,000 in August. Over the past three months, the federal government shed 34,000 jobs (three-month average job loss of 11,000). Since January, the federal government has shed 97,000 civilian jobs.
The government flipped from a job creation machine through 2024 to a job shedding machine in 2025.
This does not include jobs at government contractors, whose job losses due to canceled or paused government contracts show up in private sector categories, such as Professional & business services, Information, and other sectors.
State governments shed 13,000 jobs in August, the fourth month in a row of job losses. Over those four months, state government shed 33,000 jobs.
Combined, federal and state governments shed 28,000 jobs in August and 56,000 jobs over the past three months....
Real jobs--those in the private sector--are doing OK. More at the link above; see, in particular, the second graph in the post.
