Trump Faces Economic Pressure as July Jobs Report Disappoints

Every month, the government counts how many jobs people in the United States have.

This helps grown-ups know if the country's money machine is working well.

In July, something surprising happened — the country actually lost some jobs.

It lost 23,000 jobs, which is like the number of fans at a big baseball game.

Grown-up number experts expected the country to gain about 80,000 new jobs.

Instead, the opposite happened!

The experts were very surprised because they thought things would go well.

To make it even worse, the month before, June, only added 20,000 jobs.

That is a small number, so July was a real step down.

Because of this news, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, is feeling more pressure to make the economy better.
