  1. The number of jobs created in the US grew only modestly in December, as a weak year for the employment market in the world’s largest economy drew to a close.

    Employers added 50,000 jobs in the final month of 2025, according to Labor Department data, which was fewer than expected. But the unemployment rate dipped to 4.4%.

    Job gains last year were the smallest since 2020, when the Covid pandemic led to widespread cuts.

    Businesses have been operating in an environment marked by US President Donald Trump’s dramatic policy changes, including tariffs, an immigration crackdown and cuts to government spending.

  2. Business doesn’t respond well to volatile instability?! Woah, that’s just crazy… I mean, I would just assume corporations would want to spend tons of money in a changing, uncertain market. Especially public companies, the shareholders are like, “If it means creating more jobs, let the stock value fall!!!”

    Jonathan E Ross, a feral ICE goon, murdered an innocent woman on Jan 7th, 2026, on camera in broad daylight, in an American suburb. He then called her a ‘fucking bitch’ as her body slumped while her vehicle became an uncontrolled missile, putting everybody else’s lives in immediate danger.

    Write it over and over again all over the internet. Let every search know what his name is.

    What’s truly amazing is that the US economy was strong enough not to fall apart under the weight of a regime attempting to destroy it per Moscow’s Agent Krasnov. The insane tariffs, the crazy foreign policy and threats against our proven allies, the unilateral invasion of countries for the explicit and unhidden agenda to get their oil reserves for American countries, etc. That’s the only thing amazing about the current economy.
