The #BLS🚨won't be publishing a delayed report on wholesale price #inflation this month.

The federal agency🚨will skip the postponed Oct report on the PPI & instead roll those figures into Nov's report, which'll be published Jan 14, reported the Wall Street Journal.

Trump in 2020: “If we stop testing right now, we’d have very few cases, if any.”

Just the loss🚨in corn this year was >$16B. The loss in soybeans is $11B. Cotton & rice are even bigger losses than that. $12B is not going to make up for this one year."

“Revello Labs is reporting: US #economy didn't just slow down in Nov 2025,
🚨IT SHRANK.

Acc to their data,🚨we lost 9K jobs last mo -2nd mo in a row of neg growth.

They revised the data for the last 4 mos, essentially admitting they prev overcounted by ~160K jobs.

The trend is clear, the job mkt is deteriorating.

Scariest part of this report is who’s losing #jobs.

The private sector (bus’ that drive the economy) shed ~19,400 positions.

Consumer spending stalled in September as #inflation continues to rise, orchestrated shutdown-delayed report shows

US consumer spending increased only marginally in September, suggesting a loss of momentum in the #economy at the end of the third quarter as a lackluster #labor market & rising cost of living curbed demand.

CHICAGO PMI NOVEMBER INDEX 36.3 (CONSENSUS 44.3)

"Wow -🚨huge miss in the Chicago PMI.

This measures the strength of the regional manufacturing industry & is usually strong in the Christmas season.

It highlights why Trump’s team is cancelling or delaying so much data - everything we are seeing is incredibly weak!"

There have been high-profile announcements of #layoffs in recent weeks, but that doesn’t immediately translate into higher #unemployment, which was at a low 4.4% rate in Sept, acc/to the latest Labor Department “data”.

The survey also showed growing pessimism among respondents about #job availability & #income prospects in the next 6 months.

“Mid-2026 expectations for #labor market conditions remained decidedly negative, & expectations for increased household incomes shrunk dramatically, after 6 months of strongly positive readings,” Peterson said.

“Consumers’ write-in responses pertaining to factors affecting the #economy continued to be led by references to #prices & #inflation, #tariffs & #trade, & #politics, with increased mentions of the federal government shutdown,” Dana Peterson, the Conference Board’s chief economist, said in a release. The government shutdown ended earlier this month, so #ConsumerConfidence *could* rebound in December.

#ConsumerConfidence falls to lowest in 7 months as concerns grow about the #economy

America’s economic mood is souring as worries about the #labor market mount.

The Conference Board’s latest survey of American consumers, released Tuesday, showed that consumer confidence declined sharply this month to a reading of 88.7, the lowest level since April, when #Trump unveiled sweeping #tariffs.

"What do you notice about the change in US blue-collar employment, beginning in early 2025?

Following the boom in manufacturing & construction in 2022/2023, employment levels in these key blue-collar INDs had stabilized. But starting in 2025,🚨we've seen a collapse in manufacturing, construction & transport/warehsg employment."

And, recent data indicates that white-collar #jobs are disappearing as well.

…experts say the situation is likely to get worse in coming months. The cost of #heating a home this winter is expected to rise 7.6% to an average $976 because of rising #electricity & #NaturalGas costs, according to estimates from #NEADA.

“Service termination remains a last resort,” he said.

Still, the utility has reported 111,000 residential power shutoffs so far this year, up from 30,000 in all of 2024.

…A majority of Americans — 6 in 10 — say they are spending more on #utilities than they were a year ago, & they blame #Trump for the rising #prices, according to a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll conducted in late October.

Nearly 1 in 20 households, or about 14 million Americans, were so behind on #utility #debt that it was reported to collections agencies or in arrears as of June, according to an analysis by the Century Foundation & Protect Borrowers, a nonprofit that advocates for consumers. Meanwhile, the average overdue balance of $789 has risen 32% since 2022.

“People are feeling a squeeze across the board, but what’s even more alarming is that we’re seeing people struggling to pay for these very, very basic necessities,” said Julie Margetta Morgan, president of the Century Foundation, a liberal think tank. “#Electricity is not a luxury; it isn’t optional.”

#Utility #prices have risen roughly 3X faster than overall #inflation this year, at a precarious time for the #economy. Businesses are announcing #MassLayoffs, & it’s taking #unemployed Americans much longer to find new #work. There are also signs that lower- & middle-class families are pulling back on spending.

#affordability #CostOfLiving #Trump #recession #trumpcession

The truth is obvious to people who pay their own #bills or shop for their own #groceries [#Trump has never done either]. Trump should be spending his time figuring out how the government can help.

Making progress on #affordability is not easy, & it cannot be done quickly. But there are concrete opportunities. Most important, Trump needs to stop making things worse.

Earlier this year, #Trump blithely suggested that Americans could cope with the impact of #tariffs by purchasing fewer toys for their children. “Well, maybe the children will have 2 dolls instead of 30 dolls, you know? And maybe the 2 dolls will cost a couple of bucks more than they would normally.”
