The reality of the Trump economy smashed bleak projections to bits in April, according to new Department of Labor data.
April’s jobs report shows that employers added 115,000 jobs, according toCBS News.
Economists had gone all in on bleak and bleaker, with a forecast from FactSet predicting a gain of only 65,00 jobs.
Experts surveyed byThe Wall Street Journalwere even more pessimistic, predicting growth at only 55,000 jobs.
The unemployment rate was unchanged from March at 4.3 percent, CBS reported.
The health care sector added 37,000 jobs, while transportation and warehousing added 30,000 jobs. The federal government’s efforts to reduce its cost to taxpayers showed up in the jobs report as a loss of 9,000 positions.
The April jobs report DOUBLED expectations from economists.
These are good numbers, good for working families, good for their wallets, and good for our country! 🇺🇸https://t.co/08SaDc6rnB
