The United States had a roller-coaster relationship with countries across the globe during US President Donald Trump’s administration. In recent years, the United States has used tariffs, increased visa fees, and launched massive immigration crackdowns on several occasions to bolster its economic and political standing internationally, while at the same time dealing with significant domestic turmoil. While pursuing these aggressive initiatives, which were intended to secure and enhance its place in the world, the U.S. was also wrestling with a significant crisis. As per the report published on Tuesday by the Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, in November, the US economy added 64,000 jobs after shedding 105,000 in October.

What factors have caused unemployment to soar to the highest level?

“In November, the unemployment rate, at 4.6 percent, was little changed from September. Employment rose in health care and construction in November, while federal government continued to lose jobs. This news release presents statistics from two monthly surveys. The household survey measures labor force status, including unemployment, by demographic characteristics. The establishment survey measures nonfarm employment, hours, and earnings by industry,” reads the Economic news release published on the Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics.

How have manufacturing jobs been impacted by the current crisis?

The Department of Labour released employment data for October and November on Tuesday. In October, the U.S. Bureau of Labour Statistics indicated a net loss of 105,000 jobs. The U.S. government belatedly issued its employment report, revealing that 64,000 jobs were added in November, while 105,000 jobs were lost in October. Most of the job losses in October came about because of the decrease in the number of federal workers as a result of cuts made during the administration of President Donald Trump.

The unemployment rate in the United States has reached 4.6 per cent, up from 4.4 percent in September, which is now considered to be the highest rate since 2021.

In addition, 6,000 government jobs were lost in November. However, the construction, healthcare and social assistance industries experienced growth in November.

Construction employment grew by 28,000 in November, as nonresidential specialty trade contractors added 19,000 jobs. Construction employment had changed little over the prior 12 months,” reads the release.

“In November, employment edged down in transportation and warehousing (-18,000), reflecting a job
loss in couriers and messengers (-18,000). Transportation and warehousing employment has declined
by 78,000 since reaching a peak in February,” reads the release.

In the month of November, transportation and warehousing experienced an 18000 job loss in total. Overall, the manufacturing industry experienced a 9000 workforce reduction in October, after losing 5000 Jobs in September.
