President Donald Trump’s campaign released a statement reacting to Friday’s job reports revealing devasting losses of tens of thousands of jobs.

The reports shocked business experts who predicted a positive report on new jobs added for October.

“This jobs report is a catastrophe and definitively reveals how badly Kamala Harris broke our economy. In a single month, Kamala’s failed economic agenda wiped out nearly 30,000 private sector jobs and nearly 50,000 manufacturing jobs,” Karoline Leavitt, Trump campaign National Press Secretary said in a statement.

“Working families are being ripped off by the Harris-Biden economic agenda. Kamala broke the economy. President Trump will fix it,” she added.

Fox Business reported Friday morning that the private sector posted a 28,000 job loss for October. The estimates for the month expected around 90,000 new jobs.

CNBC also highlighted overall job numbers of October. The U.S. added only 12,000 jobs, despite estimates of 110,000 total new jobs expected.

The losses included 46,000 manufacturing jobs in one month.

“The government revised August and September nonfarm payroll estimates down by 112,000, indicating weaker labor market expansion at the end of summer than previously reported,” Forbes reports.

The report also dropped 120,000 jobs from the August and September totals, according to the Guardian.

“It is likely that payroll employment estimates in some industries were affected by the hurricanes; however, it is not possible to quantify the net effect on the over-the-month change in national employment, hours, or earnings estimates because the establishment survey is not designed to isolate effects from extreme weather events,” the Labor Department reported, according to the outlet.

The report comes days after USA Today revealed on Monday that it will not endorse Harris despite endorsing President Joe Biden in 2020, RSBN previously reported.

The news adds to a growing list of mainstream publications backing away from the Harris-Walz ticket in the final days ahead of the election.

“A spokesperson for the paper told the Daily Beast on Monday that it will instead focus on providing ‘readers with the facts that matter and the trusted information they need to make informed decisions,’” the Daily Beast reported.

“That’s a stark difference from four years ago when USA Today broke with decades-old tradition to endorse Joe Biden for president. That endorsement claimed Donald Trump wasn’t a capable leader and that the U.S. was ‘dangerously off course,’” it stated.
