[quote=Anonymous][quote]Since President Trump's April tariff announcement, overall manufacturing employment has declined by 42,000, while job openings and hires have fallen by 76,000 and 18,000, respectively according to the Center for American Progress (2). Manufacturing hiring plunged in May to the weakest rate since 2016 under President Barack Obama (3).

On "Liberation Day," President Trump said: "Jobs and factories will come roaring back into our country, and you see it happening already. We will supercharge our domestic industrial base." (6) But the numbers tell a different story.

According to the American Enterprise Institute, the cost to American purchasers per manufacturing job created by tariff protection will be at least $225,000 annually per job-year for an indefinite period, with more realistic calculations indicating a cost of $550,000 annually per job-year (7).[/quote]
