“The September jobs report more than doubled market expectations — adding 119,000 new jobs to the American economy. In stark contrast to the disastrous Biden economy, almost all of these new jobs were in the private sector and went to American-born workers instead of illegal aliens. Wages for workers are continuing to rise, a reversal of the Biden years where private sector wages declined by about $3,000 because of the Democrats’ inflation crisis. This strong report is more proof that President Trump’s pro-growth, America First agenda is already making great progress, and it will continue to deliver positive results for American families and businesses.”
— White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt
Even the fake news can’t deny it!
Here’s what they’re saying:
- Economist Steve Moore: “I think people are under-hyping this economy big time. I mean, we’re seeing huge investment numbers. We’re seeing great consumer spending numbers… I am very happy about this report and I think investors should be, too.”
- ABC News’s Alexis Christoforous: “Heading into that historic government shutdown, the job market was healthier than we thought. The expectation was for 50,000 jobs to have been added in the month of September; we got more than double that.”
- Christoforous: “If the economy added so many jobs, why did the unemployment rate go up? It’s because more people came off the sidelines and were actively looking for work… When you’re looking for work, you’re actually counted among the unemployed.”
- Bloomberg’s Enda Curran: “That’s a big upside surprise on the headline number.”
- Strategic Wealth Partners CEO Mark Tepper: “Not only is the consumer still spending, the consumer is paying their bills on time. When you look at credit card delinquencies, they’re at only 1.3% — and they’re ticking lower… We’re in a good situation.”
- The New York Times’s Lydia DePillis: “Employers notched a very respectable month of hiring in September.”
- The New York Times’s Ben Casselman: “Much stronger than expected.”
- The Wall Street Journal: Hiring Defied Expectations in September, With 119,000 New Jobs
- ABC News: Jobs report blows past expectations, defying hiring slowdown
- CNBC: Delayed September report shows U.S. added 119,000 jobs, more than expected
- CBS News: Employers added 119,000 jobs in September, blowing past expectations
Today's jobs report shows that the Trump economic plan is working: 119,000 new jobs when economists thought we would only add 52,000.

Wages are continuing to outpace inflation and manufacturing hours are increasing. We've got a lot more work to do, but these are great signs. pic.twitter.com/brRQuyq1WU
