New Jobs Report CRUSHES Expectations Yet Leftists, Wall St. Declare Economic Panic

The media reported the good economic news through gritted teeth

Amid a wave of full on panic in the stock markets and leftists declaring the economy is tanking into a recession, Friday’s new jobs report absolutely crushed all expectations with employers in the United States adding 228,000 workers to their payrolls in March when only 140,000 were forecast.

The Department of Labor stats revealed that private sector hiring was much stronger than had been anticipated. While economists had forecast 115,000 jobs, yet businesses added 209,000 jobs.

The overall workforce participation rate climbed from 62.4 percent to 62.5 percent, while the average workweek lengthened, indicating an increased demand for labor.

The stats also revealed that average hourly earnings rose 0.3 percent on February and 3.8 percent from this time last year.

Manufacturing jobs also skyrocketed.

The media reluctantly reported the good news.

President Trump reacted, saying his policies are “already working.”

Meanwhile, Democrats are doing everything they can to hamper Trump’s tariffs policies, helped by (of all people) Rand Paul.

Paul opposes Trump’s tariffs because he sees them as a tax on American consumers that he argues raises prices, harms industries like Kentucky’s farmers and manufacturers, and disrupts free trade.

He argues they provoke retaliatory tariffs, shrink exports, and burden families with higher costs for goods, while also asserting that tariffs should require congressional approval, not just presidential action.

Paul further contends that historically tariffs have hurt Republicans politically and economically, risking trade wars and market instability that could outweigh any intended benefits.

As noted by Zero Hedge earlier, the markets started crashing today when it was reported that China would put retaliatory tariffs on US goods of 34%.

However, that plunge started to reverse on news of Trump being open to deals with countries to reduce the tariffs.

Trump also declared that China has “played it wrong” in retaliating.

He also called on Fed chairman Jerome Powell to cut rates.

As we highlighted earlier, Democrats used to be all for tariffs.

During an appearance on Piers Morgan’s show, Newsweek Opinion Editor Batya Ungar-Sargon, a former Democrat-turned-populist, succinctly explained how Trump’s tariff policy is already working.

“What I find so frustrating about the conversation around tariffs is that we all agree on the problem. We all agree that the deindustrialization of America led to the downward mobility of the American working class, deaths of despair, people working multiple jobs, and not being able to afford the American dream.

We all agree that it is deeply unfair for the American middle class to be bearing the burden of unfair tariffs from other countries. We all agree that it is great for the President to have leverage in order to demand reasonable things like that country stop allowing Fentanyl to murder 100,000 Americans every year, and that Mexico do its part to police its own border.

And yet when somebody has the courage to show up and say to Wall Street, “Screw you, I’m waging class warfare on behalf of the American working class, and you, elites in Wall Street, you do what you need to do because I’m not going to stop fighting for the American working class! 

Suddenly, everybody is sitting around going, Oh, no, the stock market. Yeah, the stock market looks like that because the rich are punishing Trump for siding with the neglected and humiliated American working class over them.

We have already seen these tariffs work, Pierce. The number of people crossing the Southern border is at zero. Fentanyl is at record lows for For the last 10 years, we have already seen $1. 2 trillion in manufacturing invested in this country since January 21st.

So they have already worked. Now, how long is Wall Street going to keep trying to punish this President for standing for the American working class?

I don’t know, but I can tell you that the view from the street is people cannot believe that there is a President who is working for them, who is putting them first and telling Wall Street to go screw itself. Wall Street, which picked the Democrats for the last three election cycles in a row. That’s what the real story is here.”
