📈Job growth surged in January, adding 172,000 private-sector jobs – smashing expectations.
✅Private sector employment rose 615,000 in President Trump’s first year in office, while federal employment declined to its lowest level since 1966.
❌The labor market under Joe Biden was even weaker than we thought with job growth over Biden’s final 2 years being overstated by a whopping 1.9 million jobs.
She then added this…
The positive economic news continues to pour in under President Trump:
✅The Dow Jones Industrial Average surpassed the 50,000 level for the first time ever last week.
✅National median rents are now at a four-year low, declining for the sixth consecutive month.
✅Mortgage affordability has surged to a four-year high following President Trump’s bold action to make homeownership affordable again.
✅U.S. manufacturing activity expanded in January at the fastest pace since 2022, driven by growth in new orders and production.
✅Consumer sentiment is now at a six-month high.
✅Third quarter GDP was revised upwards to 4.4% growth, showing that President Trump’s economy is even stronger than originally estimated.
✅Gas prices are averaging roughly 20 cents lower than last year.
✅In 17 of the top 20 metro areas with the largest illegal migrant populations, home list prices declined year-over-year in January.
✅American truckers and construction workers — both industries with high numbers of foreign-born workers — have reported large increases in pay as blue-collar wages grow at the fastest clip in decades.
✅President Trump ended Biden’s inflation crisis. Since President Trump took office, headline inflation has been running at 2.4% annualized (much lower than the 3% annual rate inherited from Biden) and core inflation has been running at 2.4% annualized (much lower than the 3.3% annual rate inherited from Biden).
✅President Trump launched TrumpRx, a transformative new government platform that gives Americans direct access to dramatically lower prices on common, high-cost prescription drugs.
✅President Trump has secured trillions in private and foreign investments that are fueling job growth, innovation, and opportunity across every corner of the country.
Trump is truly trying to make America great again and it definitely shows.
