For the third month in a row, the economy added more jobs than experts predicted. In contrast to the jobs touted by Democrats during the Biden years, 99.8% of the new jobs were in the private sector. Native-born Americans have gotten all the net new jobs since January.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said "President Trump's America First Economic Agenda has created a BOOMING economy — jobs are up, unemployment is down, wages are increasing, and inflation is dead. Americans should continue to trust in President Trump, who continues to beat expectations."
The added jobs have been accompanied by higher wages. Inflation-adjusted average hourly earnings are up by nearly 4% over the past year. Inflation-adjusted disposable personal income has risen at a 7.5% annualized pace.
Job Creators Network CEO Alfredo Ortiz observed that: "the small business economy is growing and the private economy is growing. This is exactly what Donald Trump wanted to do for reversing everything that Biden had done. It's good to see that we're actually creating private economy jobs again."
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) warned "these jobs are all in the highly volatile private sector where employees can be fired for any reason or no reason. A full 25% of the jobs created during Biden's presidency were stable government jobs where employees had security against being fired without good reason. When the Trump boom eventually busts, voters will elect Democrats who will bring back the government jobs recommended for elimination by Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) fanatics."
In other good news, the FBI reports that the number of murders in the country since Trump took office has dropped by 21.6% compared to the same three months in 2024. If the trend continues 2025 could see the lowest murder rate ever recorded by the FBI.
Honest question. What is a “semi-satire”?
If “experts” are always wrong how are they experts?
They aren’t even novices.
JEFFRIES NEEDS TO ASSUME ROOM TEMP
APPARENTLY, HE WANTS ALL JOBS TO BE UNION
HE ALSO SEEMS TO WANT THE END OF “RIGHT TO WORK” LAWS & STATES
