What's more, this is just one more attack on our country's health care system, which is already facing tremendous cuts.

The damage from Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill just won't end.

These data reveal an economy in freefall as the impacts of chaotic tariff policies & cuts to public services are increasingly felt. This harm will be magnified as the effects of Trump's OBBB come to fruition, decimating health care funding, giving tax breaks to the ultrawealthy & more. 9/9

The BLS has just announced they cannot retroactively collect this survey data, creating a permanent gap in the data and leaving businesses and policymakers without essential information they use to make decisions that impact hiring, investments, mortgage rates and more. 8/9

The jobs data, which were collected and processed prior to the shutdown, are the last normal jobs day data we will see for some time. That’s because no data were collected during the shutdown, breaking a 900-month streak of data collection. 7/9

The new jobs data are not the only concerning economic data from this fall. Our analysis of consumer sentiment data shows that women’s rating of the government’s economic policies has reached a nearly five-decade low. 6/9

This means that, compared to January 2025, there are 265,000 fewer Black women working in September, driving their employment-to-population ratio down to 57.2% and returning it to a four-year low. 5/9

The data also show alarming developments in Black women’s employment. Black women’s unemployment rate skyrocketed to 7.5% in September, driven by Black women joining the labor market but not finding jobs. 4/9

Women’s jobs have fared somewhat better overall in 2025, buoyed by more than 400K jobs gained in private education & health care. But this respite may be short lived, as hospitals and clinics are closing due to cuts to health care funding in Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. 3/9

Today’s data show a dramatically slowing economy that has lost jobs 2 of the last 4 months. Cuts to the federal workforce and losses in transportation and warehousing, which are especially impacted by tariff policies, have contributed to this year’s decline. 2/9

Congress should reopen the government and increase funding for essential programs to ensure women and families can thrive, not waste money and threaten families’ well being.

6. 683 years of the National Domestic Violence Hotline.
The National Domestic Violence Hotline costs $20.5 million each year and fields more than 1 million requests for support and information. The shutdown threatens resources that survivors need to stay safe.

5. More than 3 decades of EEOC funding.
The EEOC, which costs $455m each year, enforces laws that protect civil rights, equal pay, pregnancy discrimination, the ADA & more to keep workers safe on the job. Only a fraction of EEOC workers are on the job during the shutdown, leaving workers in limbo.

4. Roughly 3.5 years of heating assistance.
LIHEAP, which costs just over $4B annually, provides assistance to roughly 6 million households to keep people warm in the winter & cool in the summer. Just as winter sets in across the country, the #shutdown threatens to delay LIHEAP support.

3. Nearly two years of WIC funding.
WIC, which costs about $7.6B a year, provides nutrition support for close to 7m women & children monthly, including 4 in 10 infants. While WIC benefits have continued thus far during the shutdown, the stop gap funding is temporary & their future is uncertain.

2. More than a year of Head Start.
Head Start, which costs $12.3 billion each year, supports the early learning, development and health of more than 700,000 children across the country each year. Head Start programs in 41 states are already threatened by the shutdown.
