Factories Were Going to 'Roar Back.' Manufacturing Has Lost About 82,000 Jobs.

The claim that factories and manufacturing jobs are 'roaring back' is false. BLS data show manufacturing employment fell by about 82,000 in the first 14 months (January 2025 to March 2026), and by roughly 89,000 from the April 2025 tariffs through February 2026. The sector lost jobs over the period rather than booming. Sam rates it False.
