A wobbly jobs report shakes Trump's economy
Presented by THE CATCH-UP BREAKING: 'Trump, escalating war of words with Russia's Medvedev, mobilizes two nuclear submarines,' by POLITICO's Eli Stokols JOBS DAY: The latest jobs data today painted a picture of a much softer labor market all summer than was previously known, raising fresh fears about the health of the U.S. economy and — in combination with President Donald Trump's new tariffs — sending markets lower. The toplines: American employers added 73,000 jobs in July, per the latest data, lower than economists had expected. Growth was largely concentrated in the health care sector, and the overall unemployment rate ticked up to 4.2 percent. Wages were up 3.9 percent annually, outpacing inflation. But the big shock came in revisions to the May and June jobs numbers, which defied fears at the time but have now come in at a combined 258,000 jobs fewer than previously reported, per Reuters. What's going on? It's a game changer of a Labor Department report that shows the labor market in a precarious state, with May and June job creation at very low levels. Economists tell WaPo's Lauren Kaori Gurley and Andrew Ackerman that market uncertainty, fueled particularly by Trump's trade and immigration policies, is to blame. And they fear that the weakness could get worse in the coming months as Trump's tariffs really start to bite. On CNBC, White House Council of Economic Advisers Chair Stephen Miran today blamed seasonal factors, saying there was no evidence of tariffs as the culprit. Don't check your 401(k): Stock markets slumped today on the latest data. The Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq were all down more than 1 percent by publication time. Ten-year Treasury yields also dropped lower, on the expectation that the Fed will now cut interest rates. More from the WSJ Fed up: The Trump administration's focus today's jobs report was squarely on the Fed. Even before the report came out, Trump fumed about Chair Jerome Powell on Truth Social, 'IF HE CONTINUES TO REFUSE, THE BOARD SHOULD ASSUME CONTROL, AND DO WHAT EVERYONE KNOWS HAS TO BE DONE!' And though the central bank has been cautious about lowering rates too quickly as inflation remains elevated, the worsening job market could indeed make a rate cut in September likelier, POLITICO's Victoria Guida writes. The two Fed governors who dissented from this week's interest-rate decision today issued statements warning of the perils of 'wait and see.' Trading places: All this tension comes amid a banner day for Trump's trade policies, as the world digests the reality of the significantly more protectionist era in global commerce he's ushered in. After last night's announcement, and with a week until the higher tariff levels kick in across the world, several top U.S. trading partners remain without a deal or in active negotiations. Overall, the U.S. will see an effective tariff rate of about 18 percent on imports, down from the 28 percent Trump initially announced on April's 'Liberation Day' but way up from 2 to 3 percent at the start of Trump's term, per WaPo. The impact: Many of the effects for the U.S. economy remain to be felt. But around the world, Trump's top targets that haven't struck agreements are reeling: Good Friday afternoon. Thanks for reading Playbook PM. Drop me a line at eokun@ 8 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW 1. IMMIGRATION FILES: 'Judge blocks Trump rapid-fire deportations for immigrants with parole status,' by POLITICO's Kyle Cheney and colleagues: 'U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb said in a ruling Friday that the Department of Homeland Security's tactics — rapid-fire deportation proceedings with little to no chance to lodge challenges — amounted to changing the rules in the middle of the game for [hundreds of thousands of] people previously welcomed into the country on a temporary basis.' Related news: 'US plans to fund deportations from Costa Rica, document shows,' by Reuters' Gram Slattery and Ted Hesson: 'The U.S. State Department is planning to spend up to $7.85 million to help Costa Rica deport immigrants … under an arrangement similar to a Biden-era program that drew criticism from migrant advocates.' 2. IT'S OFFICIAL: The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced that it will begin to shut down, after Republicans rescinded its funding and senators left it out of next year's appropriations bill. 3. SCHOOL DAZE: The Daily Caller's Reagan Reese scooped new details on the Trump administration's crackdown on the University of California Los Angeles, Trump's latest collegiate target. Four federal agencies are freezing a collective $339 million in research funding, alleging civil rights violations in the university's diversity practices, treatment of transgender people and handling of antisemitism. 4. HEADS UP: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is planning an experiment for some Medicare and Medicaid programs to cover Ozempic, Wegovy and similar drugs for weight-loss purposes, WaPo's Paige Winfield Cunningham scooped. For people not on private insurance, the drugs have largely been available only for those with diabetes previously. This could be an innovative way for some obese and overweight Medicare and Medicaid recipients to access GLP-1s, following the administration's decision this spring not to cover them for weight loss. Though they've been hailed as 'miracle drugs' for obesity, GLP-1s are also controversial with top MAHA figures in the administration, and significant cost concerns remain. 5. THE GOLDEN AGE: The Defense Department's initial goal for testing the new Golden Dome missile defense system is to do it in the fourth quarter of 2028, CNN's Natasha Bertrand and Zachary Cohen scooped. That's an ambitious timetable for Trump's big Pentagon space initiative to protect the whole country with a shield, which will require a lot of technological innovation and satellite construction. It would also place the high-profile test right around the next presidential election. And the project's cost could balloon to hundreds of billions of dollars. 6. EPSTEIN LATEST: Ghislaine Maxwell has been moved from a prison in Florida to a prison camp in Texas, a less restrictive facility, per CNN. The reason for the change isn't clear yet, but the Jeffrey Epstein accomplice is appealing her conviction to the Supreme Court and met with Deputy AG Todd Blanche last week. Meanwhile, Bloomberg's Jason Leopold scooped that the FBI redacted Trump's name — and those of other people — in the Epstein files. Doing so is common practice in FOIA requests, and there's no evidence of Epstein-related wrongdoing by Trump. 7. THE SALES PITCH: As Congress heads home for the August recess, the messaging blitz is on for both parties to define the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in voters' eyes. The DNC is holding events in every state, along with digital ads and billboard trucks in some targeted districts, with a particular focus on the bill's sweeping Medicaid cuts, AP's Steve Peoples reports. The Democrats are also getting a national training program underway to help more people become organizers and candidates. Facing the music: NRCC Chair Richard Hudson (R-N.C.) has newly encouraged House Republicans to start holding in-person town halls again, per POLITICO's Meredith Lee Hill. But at an early one last night, Rep. Bryan Steil (R-Wis.) got a brutal reception in Elkhorn, per the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Lawrence Andrea. And many Republicans are avoiding or sharply restricting such events, NOTUS' Emily Kennard reports. Interesting read: NYT's Sarah Kliff dives deep into the ideas behind Republicans' Medicaid overhaul, beginning with the broadly popular belief that Americans should have to work to earn health insurance — and a shift from the longtime U.S. trajectory of gradually expanding coverage. There's also 'the belief that health insurance coverage isn't actually an essential benefit. Research connecting health insurance to better health outcomes is surprisingly mixed, with multiple, large-scale studies either not finding a relationship or showing one only among especially sick patients. If this is true, it's because the United States' large uninsured population has forced the creation of a vast, ad hoc safety net that fills the gaps in a patchwork system.' 8. VALLEY TALK: 'In Trump's Washington, Palantir is winning big,' by WaPo's Elizabeth Dwoskin and colleagues: 'The software and data analytics company has garnered at least $300 million in new and expanded business since Trump took office for his second term … Though [CEO Alex] Karp is a progressive who has largely supported Democrats, Palantir's striking success over the last six months is a case study in how a changing ethos in Washington — toward cutting costs, embracing AI and empowering the private sector — is benefiting a particular company.' TALK OF THE TOWN Sun Chanthol, a Cambodian deputy PM, said his government would nominate Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. Catherine Cortez Masto shot back at Cory Booker: 'I don't need a lecture from anybody about how to take on and push back and fight against Donald Trump.' WHERE ARE THEY NOW — Omarosa Manigault Newman, who went from reality TV to the West Wing, is embarking on a new chapter: lawyer. 'I'm going to trial work and complex litigation,' she said while attending the National Bar Association convention in Chicago this week, POLITICO's Shia Kapos writes in. Omarosa, as she is known, recently graduated from Southern University Law Center with a JD/MBA and is studying to sit for the bar exam next year. She was named Law Student of the Year at the NBA's centennial convention. Though she was once a voice for Trump on the airwaves and worked in the White House during his first presidency, she now describes herself as politically independent. 'I am now just focused on my legal career and gladly considering retiring from politics after 20 years,' she said. OUT AND ABOUT — SPOTTED at a going-away party for the White House's May Davis Mailman last night, hosted by Virginia Boney Moore in Georgetown: Will Scharf, Julia Hahn, Jim Goyer, Alex Pfeiffer, Jarrod Agen, Michael Kratsios, Paige Willey, Steve Bradbury, Dan Katz, Sam Mulopulos, Andrew Moore, Kate Lair, Derek and Liz Lyons, Lauren Culbertson Grieco and Chris Grieco, Michael Anton, Jeff Freeland, James Burnham, Josh Gruenbaum, William Kessler, Trevor Kellogg, Colton Snedecor, Steph Carlton, John Sauer, Sarah Harris, Ben Moss, Cooper Godfrey, Bryn Jeffers, Heidi Overton and Sam Adolphsen. — Rwandan Ambassador Mathilde Mukantabana and Irish Ambassador Geraldine Byrne Nason co-hosted a dinner last night in honor of Chief of Protocol Monica Crowley. SPOTTED: Austrian Ambassador Petra Schneebauer, Greek Ambassador Ekaterini Nassika, Monegasque Ambassador Maguy Maccario Doyle and Tunisian Ambassador Hanène Tajouri Bessassi.

Kelly Evans: Everything looks different now
The jobs report this morning is worthy of a quick comment. It's one thing when you get a surprisingly weak number that breaks from a decent trend. We all know the month-to-month data can be volatile, noisy, subject to revisions, and so forth. It's quite another when you get a report that , which is exactly what just happened. The Labor Department this morning said the U.S. added just 73,000 jobs last month. Fine. Not great, but not a disaster at first glance. Then you read the details. June went from showing we added 147,000 just 14,000! Same for May: from 144,000 to just 19,000! Revisions of this size and duration are highly unusual ("If Trump wants to focus his anger somewhere...[try] the Labor Department," quipped Andrew Brenner of Natalliance). These readings are now barely above the flat-line. The three-month average for job growth is now a measly 35,000, as Peter Boockvar of One Point BFG points out--a huge deceleration from the pre-Liberation-Day trend. It's always noteworthy when the anecdotal reports start to diverge from the government data, and that has certainly been happening in recent months. From the poor job market for new grads, to the friends I know in private equity looking for jobs, to the cautious tone we heard throughout earnings season (aside from AI), it has seemed that the labor market is slowing. Now, the official data suddenly confirm that. It's a huge migraine for the Federal Reserve, which literally just 36 hours ago left rates unchanged, but probably would have cut if they knew this was happening (as the two dissenters wanted). This trend is much worse than the 82,000 three-month average last year that precipitated their half-point September rate cut. Adding to their migraine is the fact that we also got worse inflation news this week. The Fed's preferred gauge, "PCE," hit 2.6% last month, up from 2.2% in April. Core prices were even higher, up 2.8% year-on-year. With GDP growing just 1.25% in the first half of the year, as Boockvar notes, this is an economy that now looks much more "stagflationary" than it did a week ago--just as the president's new tariffs take effect. The only reason stocks aren't down more is (a), because rates are down and cuts now seem more likely, and (b), the AI trade remains solid, as we saw with Meta and Microsoft's results this week. The 10-year Treasury yield, a benchmark for mortgage rates, is down to 4.25%, versus 4.5% a couple of weeks ago, which is keeping housing stocks in the green today. The cherry on top of this sour data cocktail is the ISM manufacturing report that just hit the wires. Their index fell to 48, a sign the sector is further contracting, from 49.5 the prior month. That pushed the Dow from a drop of about 500 points to more than 700 as of this writing. For now, the data are lining up to confirm a "tariff shock" has impacted the economy. It's not to the point of being recessionary, per se, but the fact that we're even talking about that again tells you how much things have just changed. Until next time!
