flag U.S. unemployment rose to 4.6% in November 2025, driven by slowed hiring and AI, not federal cuts, despite Trump's unfounded claims.

flag The U.S. unemployment rate rose to 4.6% in November 2025, the highest in four years, with 710,000 more people unemployed than a year earlier. flag Former President Donald Trump falsely claimed the increase was due to federal workforce reductions, asserting he could instantly lower unemployment by rehiring workers—even in unnecessary roles—despite no evidence supporting this. flag Experts say federal job cuts did not cause the rise, pointing instead to slowed hiring in manufacturing and hospitality, tariffs, AI-driven job displacement, and economic uncertainty. flag About 317,000 federal workers left due to reductions, disproportionately impacting Black Americans, who face higher unemployment. flag Critics argue Trump’s narrative deflects from policy failures and undermines public services and equity.
