Fuck nose, I have absolutely no interest in what you’re talking about. I just found it funny that you quoted The Guardian as your source, like it is some beacon of unbiased journalism.

Well…. Sort of….

The guardian would have gotten that figure from adding up the monthly figures supplied by the bureau of labor statistics (the government!)

Back for 6 months straight , the BLS statistics show there has been a minus number specifically for manufacturing jobs…. So when Trump claimed in the SOTU speech that manufacturing in the USA was at an all time high and manufacturing jobs were coming back due to his policies…. He wasn’t telling the truth!

So who knew Trump fibbed!

Meanwhile back home, highest unemployment for 5 years, 16% youth unemployment, over a million young people out of education and training. Must be something to do with Greenland I reckon.

Bedfuck

It's progress at work, generally humans are needed less in the work place everywhere, except sweat shops but even thats changing. Technology is killing the employee. Robots, ai, automation are all having a consequence, unemployment.

The Unions seem powerless to stop the revolution.

Trump's tariff policy is probably exacerbating the situation for the US.

Does he care? Not when the quarterly figures show a profit that's the bottom line.
