“The robust jobs report illustrates how President Trump is addressing the repercussions of Joe Biden’s policies and rapidly fostering a robust, America-first economy. Since President Trump assumed office, all job growth has occurred in the private sector and among native-born Americans — precisely where it should be. Workers’ earnings are increasing, prices are decreasing, trillions of dollars in investments are flooding into our nation, and the stage is set for a tremendous economic boom in 2026.”
— White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt
