According to Kiyosaki, the layoffs in 2025 will hit the American workforce hard as ‘Trump (will) eliminate 65,000 jobs.’ The author also announced that the oil industry is also firing thousands of employees as ‘the economy is contracting.’  The situation in the fossil fuel sector comes as something of a surprise as it is widely expected to enjoy a renaissance due to President Donald Trump’s ‘drill, baby, drill’ pledge and an approach to energy that emphasizes abundance over other considerations.
