WASHINGTON (AP) — The American job market, a pillar of U.S. economic strength since the pandemic, is crumbling under the weight of President Donald Trump’s erratic economic policies.
Uncertain about where things are headed, companies have grown increasingly reluctant to hire, leaving agonized jobseekers unable to find work and weighing on consumers who account for 70% of all U.S. economic activity.

It’s not even that rosy, all these fucknuggets with record profits laying off large swaths of staff to make banner years even better. It’s like we’re heading toward the apex of greed, where the only way to move forward as a full-on fucking dystopia.
