Bad jobs report raises new alarms among Republicans over Trump's tariff policies
Republican lawmakers are expressing alarm and uncertainty over the strength of the U.S. economy after the Labor Department reported Tuesday that the nation had created nearly 1 million fewer jobs from March 2024 to March 2025.
While the data mostly falls during former President Bidens administration, the report offers further evidence the labor market is struggling. The monthly jobs report on Friday showed the unemployment rate, though still low, ticked up to 4.3 percent as the economy added only 22,000 jobs, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
Many Republicans view President Trumps global trade war as the biggest reason for weaker-than-expected jobs data, noting that tariffs have increased prices, stifled consumer demand and spooked employers and investors.
While the major stock market indices have reached record highs, Republicans on Capitol Hill worry that doesnt reflect the economic reality experienced by many Americans.
