The Trump Economy Continues to Roar With 'Blockbuster' January Jobs Report
From the Right
AllSides Media Bias Rating: Right
The jobs report came out this morning, and it's an absolute banger for the Trump economy. For the month of January, 130,000 jobs were added, and the unemployment rate dropped to 4.3 percent. Economists had been expecting just 55,000 jobs.
The unemployment rate also beat economists' predictions. Here's more:
The Labor Department on Wednesday reported that employers added 130,000 jobs in January. That figure was above the expectations of economists polled by LSEG, who estimated the economy would add 70,000 jobs.
The unemployment rate was 4.3%, slightly lower than economists' expectations of 4.4%.
