Job Growth Soars Under Trump Administration
The latest employment figures reveal a dynamic resurgence in the private sector during President Donald J. Trump’s administration, exceeding forecasts for the second consecutive month. It appears that the much-touted “Golden Age of America” may indeed be taking shape.
In March, the U.S. economy welcomed 228,000 new jobs — nearly 100,000 more than economists had anticipated, marking the fourth-highest month for private payroll growth in the last two years. This increase is approximately double the job creation rate seen in the preceding two months.
This report underscores a robust labor market, as companies actively bring jobs back to American soil in response to President Trump’s assertive trade and economic policies.
- Private sector employment expanded by 209,000 jobs, significantly outpacing the pre-election average of 124,000 jobs per month:
- + 23,700 jobs in retail trade.
- + 22,900 jobs in transportation and warehousing.
- + 13,000 jobs in construction.
- There was a remarkable increase of 459,000 full-time workers since last month, alongside a labor force participation rise of 232,000, indicating that more Americans are entering the job market.
- Wages are on the rise as well, with nominal hourly earnings climbing nearly 4% over the past year.
- During President Biden’s tenure, nearly three-fourths of new jobs were in government and related sectors. In contrast, under President Trump, that figure fell to just 42% in March.
