The so-called experts didn’t just miss the mark on March jobs numbers; they got steamrolled by reality.
Economists predicted a weak 59,000 jobs. The actual number came in at a stunning 178,000. Talk about getting it completely wrong.
And it’s the latest reminder that the same crowd that spent months warning about economic doom under President Donald Trump still doesn’t understand what’s actually happening on the ground.
Even CNN couldn’t deny that this was huge.
Unemployment dipped again, falling from 4.4% to 4.3%. Even more telling, the rate dropped across multiple groups, including women, black Americans, Asians, Hispanics, and veterans. That kind of broad-based improvement doesn’t happen in a weak economy. It doesn’t even happen when a Democrat is in the White House.
Meanwhile, jobless claims are now hovering near a two-year low. In other words, fewer people are losing jobs, and more people are finding them. That’s the formula for sustained momentum. Manufacturing and construction both saw real growth, the kind that signals strength in the backbone of the economy.
Let’s keep going, shall we?
Since Trump returned to office, the private sector has added 609,000 jobs. At the same time, federal government employment has dropped by 352,000. On top of that, native-born Americans are benefiting, too. A total of 218,000 native-born workers have gained employment, and 193,000 have entered the labor force.
That’s no accident; that’s by design. Trump’s design.
Wages are also moving in the right direction. Average hourly earnings rose 0.2% in March and sit 3.5% higher than a year ago.
It gets better.
Blue-collar workers, who took a beating during the Biden years, have now recovered those lost wages in just one year under Trump.

The MSM will find a way to completely not report on this.
Economists predicted a weak 59,000 jobs. The actual number came in at a stunning 178,000. Talk about getting it completely wrong.
That's because "experts" are mostly grant-whores and libtard academics who say what they're told to say.
This will not make the LSM news feeds, in fact the are already picking up shovels to bury this story.
I got a dozen large, free-range eggs yesterday for $3.99/dozen. A year ago, they were $6.99/dozen.
Austan Goolsbee Chicago fed chair, Obama flunky and Mayor Pete supporter must be reaching out to his fellow Yalie Skull and Boners as a support group upon hearing that Team Trump chalked up another win.
We’ve imported that many guest workers?
Well, that’s a pretty cynical (though entirely understandable) take. But the increase in jobs to “native born” Americans would tend to suggest otherwise.
Dems are always doomsdayers, haven’t a clue.
Isn’t it sad that, when there’s great economic news, the Democrats are upset that thousands of Americans found jobs. Methinks Democrats are not for the American people, but just for their own power.
Certain Freepers have the sads.
Always wait for the revision.
The dims speechless? That won’t last long.
Last week I bought 18 grade A for 2.99.
Without immigrant workers combined with falling birth rates of Americans, who will support the senior folks on Medicare & social security?
lol. Gunga we don’t need 3rd worlders.
Liberals are never SPEECHLESS.
“...women, black Americans, Asians, Hispanics, and veterans... And H1B’s.
