The US apparently added 22,000 jobs in August, which apparently is as low as the pandemic numbers.   They scream the economy is in trouble because so few jobs are added.   I agree with that.   But I don't understand where the economy gained so many?

All we hear nowadays are people being laid off or deported.   Students weren't looking for jobs in Aug.  I'm sure there is some number trickery in there I don't understand.    Undecided

Most leftist political commentators point out this is nothing but a sign of economical deacceleration in the country and probably the beginning of more signs of a recession. On order to keep a growing economy, new jobds need to be added continuously and more production needs to be added as well. The population growth is steeping down and immigration as well, because of policies harbored by Trump, so the American economy cooling down it completely expected.
It will just matter of time untill MAGA economist cannot keep their delusion and admit their need immigrants to keep the machinery of the country going.
