Tomorrow is The Fascist Felon’s ‘Liberation Day,’ the day he will roll out a set of tariffs, or taxes on imports from other countries, that he says will free the U.S. from a reliance on foreign goods. In reality, most economists claim his stupid tariffs will tank our economy.
What to Expect:
- Details around Trump’s plans remain uncertain. Reciprocal tariffs could take the form of product-by-product duties, for example, or broader “averages” imposed across all goods from each country — or perhaps something else entirely.
- Trump has talked about taxing the European Union, South Korea, Brazil and India, among other countries, through these levies
Job opportunities are shrinking as economic uncertainty grows
CNN —
US employers pared back on their hiring plans in February, a likely reflection of a job market cooldown driven in part by heightened uncertainty amid the Trump administration’s sweeping policy moves.
The number of job openings — a measurement of labor market demand — fell to 7.57 million in February, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ latest Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey released Tuesday. February’s total marks a retreat after the number of available jobs rose to 7.76 million to begin the year.
January’s report also showed that hiring activity remained steady, layoffs fell and the number of quits rose, an indication of increased worker confidence.
