In a recent interview, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer was confronted by Stuart Varney regarding a disappointing jobs report that revealed a loss of 8,000 manufacturing jobs. While the report showed overall job growth exceeding expectations, Varney highlighted concerns over manufacturing job declines amidst President Trump's assurances of a manufacturing boom due to tariffs. Chavez-DeRemer maintained that manufacturing employment remains steady compared to previous administrations and emphasized ongoing efforts to bolster manufacturing as a key component of economic strategy.
Varney pointed to one problem in the jobs report and that's the loss of 8,000 manufacturing jobs. That's not what you wanted to see.
Chavez-DeRemer insisted that manufacturing jobs are holding steady. We're certainly holding steady. And under the Trump administration, manufacturing jobs are still up over what the last administration under Biden had.
