Well, howdy there, Internet people, it spell again.

So today, we're going to talk about a million laid off during Trump's Golden Age.

According to Challenger Gray and Christmas, so far in 2025, there have been 1.17 million job cuts through November, which is 54% higher

than the same 11-month period a year ago. Cuts totaling above 1.1 million is pretty rare,

happening just six times since 1993. We haven't seen cuts over a million since, well, the last time Trump was in office.

To be fair, in this case, the last time we got above a million, it wasn't completely Trump's fault.

It was in large part due to the pandemic, but not totally. However, this time it's absolutely Trump's

fault. Many of the cuts were part of his ill-advised doge mess. In fact, according to the report,

what they're calling the Doge Impact, quote, remains the leading reason for job cut announcements in 2025. It might seem unfair to

place the blame for the layoffs on Trump like that. But I want to point a little something out

about the historical trends when it comes to a million or more layoffs in a year.

It doesn't happen often.

It happened a couple of times in the early 2000s.

It happened around 2009.

It happened in 2020.

So, those are all easily attributable to the dot-com bust, the 2008 financial crisis, and COVID.

This year's?

What major disruption happened?

Did the stock market correct?

Nope.

Not in a way that stuck anyway.

Was there a massive collapse of the financial and housing markets? Nope. Not yet
