flag Job market pessimism rises under Trump, with 52% calling it "bad," unemployment at a four-year high, and no clear evidence supporting administration claims.

flag Americans are increasingly pessimistic about the job market under President Trump, with 52% viewing it as "bad" versus 33% who see it as "good," a sharp decline from earlier in his second term. flag Despite a recent jobs report, optimism remains low, with 50% expecting higher unemployment in six months—the highest since the Great Recession. flag The administration attributes weak job growth to mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, claiming this reduces competition and justifies lower monthly job gains. flag Trade adviser Peter Navarro argued that previous high job numbers under Biden were inflated by hiring unauthorized workers, and that 50,000 new jobs per month now aligns with a "steady state" economy. flag However, these claims lack evidence, and public sentiment remains bleak, with unemployment rising to 4.6%—a four-year high—and most Americans reporting financial hardship.
