As of April 2026, data shows women are filling the majority of new U.S. jobs, heavily driven by growth in healthcare. Contrary to claims of a manufacturing boom, factory jobs have declined in 13 of the past 14 months, and manufacturing employment is down by 82,000 since the start of the second Trump administration . Women Dominating Job Growth: Women are securing most new positions, particularly in health care, where they hold nearly 80% of jobs and created over 390,000 jobs in the past 12 months.Manufacturing Decline: Despite promises of a "made in America" renaissance, manufacturing jobs have seen a significant decline, falling in 13 of the past 14 months."Fantasy" Claims: Analysts and economists describe the claimed manufacturing resurgence as a "fantasy". The sector is down 82,000 jobs from when [President Trump] took office in 2025.Failed Projections: Reports indicate the US lost over 100,000 manufacturing jobs during the first year of this administration .Overall Economic Data: Reports show that in 2025 the U.S. added only 181,000 jobs, one of the weakest growth years outside of a recession in decades.Black Women's Job Loss: Despite the overall trend of women gaining jobs, the unemployment rate for Black women reached 7.5% in late 2025, with 300,000 losing their jobs between February and September.
