Here's the write up from CBS:

quote:

Layoffs across the U.S. soared last month to more than 153,000, marking the worst October for job reductions in 22 years, according to outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

Employers have announced early 1.1 million job cuts this year, the most through October since 2020, when pandemic shutdowns sent unemployment soaring.

The labor market has shifted from a "no hire, no fire" environment — when employees enjoyed job security despite slower hiring — to one where companies are cutting costs and reducing staff as they lean on AI to replace human workers.

"October's pace of job cutting was much higher than average for the month," Andy Challenger, a workplace expert and chief revenue officer for Challenger, Gray & Christmas, said in a statement.

He added, "Some industries are correcting after the hiring boom of the pandemic, but this comes as AI adoption, softening consumer and corporate spending, and rising costs drive belt-tightening and hiring freezes."

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell cited concerns about slower hiring in announcing interest rate cuts in September and October.

The Department of Labor's monthly employment report has been on hold since the government shutdown began on Oct. 1, which delayed September's labor market data and is likely to postpone October's report.

Other measures, including data this week from payroll processor ADP that showed muted hiring by private employers, point to a job market that has cooled sharply from earlier this year.

"Those laid off now are finding it harder to quickly secure new roles, which could further loosen the labor market," Challenger added.

The National Association for Business Economics forecast last month that the nation's unemployment rate, which was 4.3 % as of August, will rise to 4.5% in 2026.

50 million on SNAP

Trump's America

But seriously the amount of people on SNAP has stayed pretty consistent.



If this graph tells us anything it tells us that we fixed the credit issue after the 2008 financial crisis but maybe we never fully recovered from it.



This chart illustrates that working age people make up a little over 40% of the distributions

Improving employment gets all of the numbers down on the chart obviously.

For Texas at least:

quote:

These findings also counter harmful myths, showing that many SNAP recipients are people and families who are working, but just aren’t earning enough to meet basic needs. From low-wage jobs to inconsistent hours, employment alone is not always enough to guarantee food security. Households receiving SNAP have an average median income of $33,000, which is less than half of what the households not receiving benefits are making.


There is a significant divide on what you think SNAP is and what it actually is.

No, it has everything to do with AI replacing human jobs however.

So we need to pass the bill that forbids any regulation of AI to make America great again right?

Trump is trying to change the money spigot going to these countries, but anything he tries , any austerity measures will be used against him, politically. It’s actually what needs to be done, we need a President to even the playing field, but Politics gets in the way. All the past Presidents just printed money and kicked the can, so it will take a Great President to reverse course, so we shall see if Trump wants to suffer more pain, or start printing, and kicking the can ( which has what’s been done the last 50 years( 38 trillion and counting)

So, pulling several hundred billion OUT of the private economy has no consequence?
