Wisconsin lost thousands of manufacturing jobs in 2025

Since Trump became president it’s been one self inflicted economic crisis after another. Now it’s this war and effect on energy and food production. He’s been a disaster.

Wisconsin lost thousands of manufacturing jobs in 2025

from the article...
"Industry leaders say the job losses were driven more by worker retirements than widespread layoffs, though shifting tariffs and broader economic uncertainty have made some manufacturers more reluctant to hire.
Scott Paul, president of the Alliance for American Manufacturing, described the industry as a bit of a “leaky boat” that’s been “slowly losing something.” While he said the economy is not in a recession, he called the wider economic environment “very unstable.”
Throughout 2025, he said manufacturers navigated a host of on-again, off-again tariffs. The Trump administration has framed tariffs as being aimed at bolstering domestic manufacturing.
While Paul said tariffs can benefit manufacturers, he said the rollout over the last year has been far too chaotic.
“I believe that tariffs strategically placed over the long run can have a positive impact if there is certainty to the policy, if they’re applied in a strategic way and if you have other tailwinds behind you as well,” he said. “But really, none of those features have been present over the last 16 or 17 months.”
On top of tariffs, Deller said manufacturers now also face higher oil prices related to the war in Iran, which he said could threaten to further destabilize the economy.
In an unpredictable economic environment, companies have been slow to both hire and lay off workers, said Buckley Brinkman, former chief executive officer of the Wisconsin Center for Manufacturing and Productivity.
“It’s really like trying to run your company with one foot on the gas and one foot on the brake,” he said. “People have opportunities and they want to grow their companies, but the uncertainty in the market and the inability to really have a clear, predictable path forward is making it difficult to hit the accelerator and let off on the brake.”"

when you elect a chaos potus who acts more upon his emotions than logic, what do you expect, certainty?
