Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens Responds to Job Losses: Demands Trump Administration Immediately Change Course on Tariffs

September 9, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed that the U.S. economy created nearly one million fewer jobs than previously reported for the year ending March 2025.  

In response to one of the largest downward revisions on record, Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens issued the following statement: 

“These job losses are a gut punch for Michigan workers and show how much damage Trump’s disastrous tariffs are causing, and how he needs to change course on these reckless tariffs immediately.

“Trump and his administration keep making big promises about economic growth, but the reality is Michigan has fewer jobs, more instability, and costs continue to skyrocket for hard-working families across our state. From our auto plants to our small businesses, Michiganders are already feeling the squeeze. 

“I’m fighting every day to fight back against Trump’s tariffs that are killing Michigan’s economy, destroying auto jobs, and driving costs up. I’ll keep taking on Trump to make sure our state gets the lower costs, jobs, and stability we need. Michigan deserves better.”
