Jobs report: US economy weakening as Trump’s tariffs bite | Vox

According to those new figures, employers are pulling back on hiring to a dramatic (and unexpected) degree, economic growth is slowing, and consumer prices are rising. And there are strong indications that Trump's trade and immigration policies are driving all of these trends. 

While last week's data provides little sign of an imminent recession or inflationary crisis, protectionism is still imposing a heavy toll on US households and businesses. And if hiring continues to slow — while firms' input costs persistently rise — there is some risk that economic growth could stall out completely.
