ONE COUNTRY PROJECT RELEASES APRIL IMPACT SOCIAL REPORT
Americans Are Talking About Their Anxieties – And Our Elected Leaders Need to Listen
One Country Project (OCP) today released its released its second installment of the Impact Social Report, analyzing social media discussions in the month of April across five U.S. regions. The report identifies the leading economic concerns of Americans, including tariffs, job security, and the cost of living.
OCP observed social media traffic in April 2025, and identified key insights into issues that Americans are discussing:
Tariffs remain a key concern for Americans, impacting nearly every area.
Americans are concerned about how tariffs will affect essential goods. Groceries, healthcare, and utilities, which are already difficult to manage, may become unaffordable.
The fallout of Trump’s “Liberation Day” increased confusion among Americans, as it has become clear that the administration has no plan.
Tariffs are viewed as threats to the livelihoods of Americans and there is widespread uncertainty about the future.
DOGE continues to spur American’s anxiety about job security, contributing to feelings of instability even for private sector workers.
