It's scary the reported number could change so much with so much else depending on it.

Optimistically, the drop could be from temporary higher employment due to folks rushing to import additional goods before the tariffs came into effect. This might dissipate as excess stock levels reduce.

How much though remains to be seen, as tariffs generally will make things tougher, unless something else compensates (unlikely).
