The Trump administration is touting the results of the newest jobs report that shows a strong economy with growing employment.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics report released Friday said the economy added 162,000 jobs in August, which doubled experts' expectations for the month.
'You haven’t seen anything yet!'
The president celebrated the report in a post on the Truth Social platform.
"Great jobs number just announced, breaking all estimates (except mine!) by double and triple — And you haven’t seen anything yet!" he posted.
He went on to call for lower interest rates based on the report and also blasted the Supreme Court for their ruling against some of his tariffs.
"Lower the interest rates because the U.S.A. is a much stronger credit than it was just a short time ago! A STRONG COUNTRY MEANS A LOWER INTEREST RATE — IT’S A BETTER CREDIT ... Very simple!"
Not only was the August jobs report the strongest since March, but July's report was flipped from a loss of 23,000 jobs to a gain of 21,000 jobs. June's report was also revised upward from 20,000 to 31,000 jobs.
Experts had placed their expectations in August of about 65,000, meaning the actual rate came in at nearly three times their prediction.
"This jobs report did blow expectations out of the water," said Glassdoor senior economist Daniel Zhao to CNN. "We are definitely getting a bit of whiplash here, where it feels like the reports are alternating between good and bad; but, overall, we’ll take the win."

The president later complained that the stock market had registered a loss with the jobs report rather than going up.
"How crazy is this?" he wrote in a second post. "We just got GREAT Numbers on Jobs, the Market should go UP, because our Credit and Economy are better but, as always, for the past 25 years, the Stock Market goes DOWN, because we’re living under False Reality that if things are good, you’ve got to 'KILL IT' because of a 'fear' of Inflation."
He added, "We should be doing GDP of 15 and 20%, not 2, 3, and 4%, and America should become Far Greater Financially than it is right now."

Latest jobs report 'SMASHES' expectations — stock market surges
The April jobs report shows much stronger than expected growth, and the stock market has reacted by surging positively.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said about 115,000 new jobs were added in April. The rate of unemployment held at 4.3%.
'We are much stronger. ... These are good numbers!'
Most of the gains were in the health care sector with 37,000 jobs, while both transportation and warehousing added 30,000 jobs.
The White House touted the comments from CNBC on-air editor Rick Santelli.
"The big jobs report for April — 65,000 expected! Nay, nay, nay! We are much stronger: 115,000!" he said. "And last month? Upward revision from 178,000 to 185,000! These are good numbers!"
Fifth Third Commercial Bank's chief economist Bill Adams said that the job market was "inching out of low hire, low fire mode into moderate hire, low fire mode."
"This is a very strong number, and I think it's hard to argue against the notion right now that the labor market is on solid footing," said Mark Reid of RBC Economics.
On the other hand, better jobs numbers will ease the pressure on the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates as one part of its mandate is to avoid inflation by overheating the economy.
One sector continuing to shed jobs was offices, which includes tech, telecom, data processing, and media. There were 13,000 office jobs lost in April, while another 12,000 were lost in financial activities.
The jobs report showed a 3.6% increase in average hourly earnings over the year, but that came in at less than the overall inflation rate of 4%, meaning overall the value of wages decreased slightly.

"This is the big Achilles' heel in the U.S. economy," replied Navy Federal economist Heather Long. "Yes, workers have jobs, but this is a squeeze."
"Trust in Trump!" responded Interior Secretary Doug Burgum. "Today’s jobs report smashed expectations because he is putting American workers, manufacturing and industry FIRST. The Golden Age has just begun!"

February jobs report subverts economists' expectations after a seemingly strong start to the year
The employment situation report for February was released on Friday, showing a slowdown after an ostensibly strong start to the year.
The United States lost 92,000 nonfarm jobs in February, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics report.
The unemployment rate saw a slight uptick compared to January, rising 0.1% to 4.4% in February.
The Hill reported that economists were confronted with an unexpected downturn in total jobs, saying they generally expected the United States to add 60,000.
Additionally, The Hill marked a concerning trend, reporting that the BLS revised December 2025's initial gain of 48,000 jobs to a loss of 17,000 jobs.
However, consistent with previous trends in President Trump's first year, the federal government accounted for 10,000 of those jobs losses. BLS reported that federal employment is down by 330,000, or 11% of the federal workforce.

The unemployment rate saw a slight uptick compared to January, rising 0.1% to 4.4% in February.
"Just as the January jobs report overstated any emerging strength in the labor market, the February employment data give a false impression of deteriorating labor market conditions," Nancy Vanden Houten, lead economist at Oxford Economics, said in an email to CBS News on Friday.
The employment situation report for March is scheduled to be released on April 3.

'Golden Age of America is upon us!' Delayed January jobs report exceeds expectations
After almost a week's delay, the Department of Labor released the highly anticipated January jobs report on Wednesday.
Originally scheduled for release on February 6, the January jobs report exceeded many experts' expectations.
'WOW! The Golden Age of America is upon us!!!'
The Department of Labor reported that 130,000 non-farm jobs and 172,000 total private jobs were added in January, nearly double the expectations set by one poll of economists, according to Fox News.
Furthermore, the unemployment rate was slightly lower than expected, sitting at 4.3% compared to the projected 4.4% rate.

Fox noted that the Department of Labor revised the November and December jobs reports down by 17,000 jobs, taken together.
President Trump reacted to the latest jobs report with enthusiasm while also calling for other actions to improve the U.S. economy: "GREAT JOBS NUMBERS, FAR GREATER THAN EXPECTED! The United States of America should be paying MUCH LESS on its Borrowings (BONDS!). We are again the strongest Country in the World, and should therefore be paying the LOWEST INTEREST RATE, by far. This would be an INTEREST COST SAVINGS OF AT LEAST ONE TRILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR — BALANCED BUDGET, PLUS."
"WOW! The Golden Age of America is upon us!!!" Trump added.
The White House's Rapid Response X account reported some more job-related news on Wednesday morning: "Under President Trump, federal employment has declined to its lowest level since 1966 — and the lowest level in recorded history as a share of the total workforce."
The post included a chart showing federal employment over the last five years, showcasing a precipitous decline since January 2025. According to the chart, there were more than three million federal employees in January 2025, but that number dropped below 2.7 million by January 2026.

Yuge win! New jobs report exceeds expectations, reversing Biden-era trends
After more than a month's delay due to the government shutdown, the government has released a new jobs report from September. The report defied expectations and proved President Trump is getting the economy back on track.
On Thursday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released the long-awaited jobs report. The numbers blew many estimates out of the water.
'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.'
According to data obtained from the BLS, the U.S. added 119,000 jobs in September, marking an increase compared to previous months. The estimate, according to Fox News, was 50,000 new jobs.

"The economy is booming under President Trump! His commitment to bringing jobs back to the United States and putting America First has turned this country around and set us on the right track!" Republican National Committee Chairman Joe Gruters said on X.
Wages are also up 0.2% to $36.67 in September, BLS said. According to the data, hourly earnings have increased 3.8% over the last 12 months.
In a statement obtained by Blaze News, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said, "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,” Leavitt added.
Citing the government shutdown, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has said that it will not release full data for October. Instead, it will release partial data with the November jobs report, according to ABC News.

Stephanopoulos Suggests Trump DOJ Could Tamper With Epstein Evidence (And Other ABC’s This Week Questions)
Here are all the questions asked during the Sept. 7 edition of 'This Week.'Liberal media shields Harris from disastrous jobs report
The Democratic Party's liberal media allies seem intent on shielding Vice President Kamala Harris from criticism regarding the administration's latest disastrous jobs report.
On Friday, the October report revealed that the Biden-Harris administration added only 12,000 more jobs to the economy — the lowest increase since December 2020. According to Fox Business, LSEG economists previously predicted a 113,000 job gain.
Trump 'acts like the economy is in the toilet, but that's just not true.'
While the private sector lost 28,000 jobs, the government "continued its upward trend in October," adding another 40,000 jobs, the report stated.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the "unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.1 percent in October."
These alarmingly low job-growth numbers come after the Department of Labor's preliminary annual benchmark report in August, which revealed job gains were overstated by more than 800,000 from April 2023 to March 2024, Blaze News previously reported.
The administration has repeatedly overestimated its projected job growth. The DOL's numbers were revised downward by 81,000 in August and by 31,000 in September.
The corporate media machine quickly came up with excuses for the Biden-Harris administration's weak job gains, blaming them on Hurricanes Helene and Milton, as well as the Boeing labor strike.
Those news outlets did not previously extend the same understanding to former President Donald Trump, who faced unprecedented economic challenges as a result of COVID-19. An NBC News article from 2020 torched then-President Trump for gaining "just 661,000 jobs for September."
On Friday, former New York state Sen. David Carlucci (D) told Fox News' Harris Faulkner that the economy is "a winning issue" for Harris.
Carlucci stated that Trump "acts like the economy is in the toilet, but that's just not true."
"Yes, people are struggling, and Kamala Harris knows that and says that, but you've got to take it in its entirety," he continued. "If we look at where we were four years ago, economists were saying we were headed towards a recession, possibly a depression."
Faulkner responded, "So exactly four years ago, around the time of the election, what was being handed was 1.4% [inflation rate]. So I'm confused. I don't think you want to go back four years because that's an easy conversation to have," she added.
Carlucci remarked, "He [Trump] was the second president after Herbert Hoover to leave with less jobs when he left office than when started office."
