(CNSNews.com) - Manufacturing jobs in the United States increased by 18,000 in the month of May and have now climbed by 322,000 since President Donald Trump took office, according to new employment data released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

“Manufacturing employment continued to expand over the month (+18,000),” the BLS said in its monthly employment report released today.

“Durable goods accounted for most of the change, including an increase of 6,000 jobs in machinery,” said BLS. “Manufacturing employment has risen by 259,000 over the year, with about three-fourths of the growth in durable goods industries”

Strange how difficult it is for certain folks to understand how tax cuts ALWAYS work.

This is one of the funniest graphics I've seen in a long time .... and so damn true.   

But I suspect somewhere in the maze that is Pelosi's mind she knows how tax cuts work ..... she just can't believe her party has to run against them.

Yes indeed this is all fine and good, only problem is this won't last once the steel and aluminum tariffs are imposed.

How So?

Cutting the federal Sales Consumption/Corp Income Tax drew at least a dozen CEOs heading huge global corps after Trump from Davos Switzerland to the WH to tell him they were relocating Billions of their investment capital here, and employing Americans because it fattened their bottom lines.

As for those tariffs being implemented, again Trump May be waving a Big Bargaining Billy Club without intending to use it.

If he does use it, even once, that will strengthen his bargaining position/Street Cred with other countries in future negotiations.

Cool.  I'm glad all the people who lost their jobs at places like Carrier, Harley Davidson, and Boeing found other jobs.  They're probably don't pay as well as their former, jobs, but it's better than nothing, right?

Not sure what that means.

Are you suggesting that allowing people to keep their money somehow equates with tariffs?
