Washington, D.C. — U.S. factories lost 12,000 jobs in August, according to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday.
Alliance for American Manufacturing President Scott Paul said:
“The August jobs report should hopefully spur on two important actions. First, a cut in interest rates by the Federal Reserve. Second, concluding tariff actions and trade deals to provide businesses with the certainty they need to hire, invest in new capital equipment, and realign supply chains. Manufacturing will be treading water until we see those changes.”
Paul is available for interview.
