“This is the second month in a row where the jobs report has beat expectations. Wages are continuing to rise and labor force participation is increasing. This is exactly what we want to see. More Americans working for higher wages. More winning is on the way!” — Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt
President Donald J. Trump is lighting a fire under the American economy, and today’s jobs report proves it. While the media plays catch-up, Trump’s America is clocking in, cashing checks, and leaving the doubters in the dust.
In April alone, the U.S. added 177,000 jobs — crushing the so-called “expert” predictions. That’s another win for Trump’s America-First game plan. Businesses are bringing jobs back, the workforce is growing, and paychecks are getting fatter.
Here’s the breakdown:
-
Private education and health services: +70,000
-
Transportation and warehousing: +29,000
-
Leisure and hospitality: +24,000
-
Professional and business services: +17,000
-
Financial activities: +14,000
More Americans are jumping into the labor force because this is what a real economy looks like — one built on opportunity, not handouts. Wages are rising too, with real average hourly pay up nearly 4% in the last year. People aren’t just working — they’re winning.
Construction jobs are up for the third straight month, and surprise — no labor shortage in sight. Meanwhile, the federal government has been cutting jobs for three straight months. That’s what happens when you finally get a president who’s not afraid to right-size Washington.
The experts are finally catching on. Steve Moore called it an “amazing report.” Charles Payne pointed out that the jobs folks said would disappear are booming instead. Maria Bartiromo reminded everyone that Trump promised the best economy ever — and here it is.
President Trump is proving once again: when you put America first, Americans come out on top. The momentum is real. The comeback is happening. And it’s only getting started.
