    This article uses quantities when percentages provide a different perspective.

    "The country is down 65k industrial jobs over the last year..."

    The second graph for US Blue Collar employment shows 100K jobs lost from the 2025 peak to the end of the graph.

    Jobs went from 29.05 million down to 28.93 million [visual guess on my part].

    My take: less than 1% drop in industrial jobs in since 2025 peak could be simple adjustment after pandemic induced flucutations.

    According to data from the BLS - Looks like someone needs to be fired.
