WASHINGTON, Sept 2 (Reuters) - U.S. manufacturing contracted for a sixth straight month in August as factories dealt with the fallout from the Trump administration's import tariffs, with some manufacturers describing the current business environment as "much worse than the Great Recession."
The US Manufacturing PMI rose to 53.3 in August 2025, indicating a renewed improvement in factory business conditions after a brief deterioration in July. This reading was the highest since May 2022 and reflects a positive trend in the manufacturing sector, with production rising and factory employment rebounding.
Reuters is just lying.
there are different measures of PMI because it is a number derived from opinions and survey, not hard data. It’s what people say to surveyors. It’s a poll. Not dependable .
The ISM US Manufacturing PMI increased to 48.7 in August 2025 from 48.0 in July, though it fell short of market expectations of 49.0.
The index signaled a sixth straight month of contraction, as a sharp drop in production (47.8 vs. 51.4) was only partly offset by a rebound in new orders (51.4 vs. 47.1)
Survey respondents overwhelmingly pointed to tariffs as a drag on business conditions.

That doesn't seem like production was shifted out of the US.
Winning! America! Border secure. Catch and release policy is over. Border Patrol and ICE are doing work. Let’s go!
This is the kind of news that everybody should be applauding.
C'mon libs, Trump closed the border and ended Sleepy Joe's illegal alien invasion.

No. Your index - ISM - IS based on surveys. The US Manufacturing PMI is actual data.

The dems and Rs had a legislative solution, which is what the constitution says we should do. Republicans killed that solution so our king could take credit himself. I will not celebrate the intentional destruction of the constitution. You will. People like you are why we are a pariah nation.

nope. All PMI are surveys, not hard data. Yours:
The S&P Global Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) is a crucial economic indicator based on monthly surveys of business executives, providing timely insights into the health of manufacturing, services, and other sectors worldwide

The "border bill" that was a Ukraine aid bill and would have codified up to 4,999 illegals allowed in per day?

FAKE NEWS. Those numbers are a liberal hoax. They need to fire whoever came up with that BS and put in a real numbers guy, and not some DEI hire.

What an idiotic take.
If he sent them to die in some worthless 3rd world hell hole like Bush or Obama or Biden would he love them then?
Aren't you the f*cking dumb*ss that said that companies raising prices due to Trump's tariffs isn't inflation? THAT was an idiotic take.

Breaking News: The DOJ is looking at banning transgender people from owning guns.
This has to be the tipping point that sets the 2nd Amendment, no-tyranny, don't-tread-on-me, pro-militia crowd into action.
I hate to say it, and I hope I'm wrong, but this has to lead to right-wing violence against the Trump administration.
Scary times.

From the Bureau of Labor Statistics:
Jobs in manufacturing (seasonally adjusted)
Jan, 2025 -- 12.755 million
Feb, 2025 --12.763 million
Mar, 2025 --12.764 million
Apr, 2025 --12.764 million
May, 2025 --12.753 million
Jun, 2025 --12.738 million (preliminary)
Jul, 2025 --12.727 million (preliminary)Dropped for 4 straight months (i.e., since Trump announced his tariffs).
At least the trade deficit is widening at the same time manufacturing jobs are disappearing.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
