The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) announced its August jobs report this morning. Unemployment is down to 3.9%, while more people are employed in the US than at any time in history. But the big news is that this century, since the year 2000, more than 20% of all job increases have occurred during the Trump years.

The BLS announced July’s job numbers on Friday and the results were impressive.

Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 201,000 in August, and the unemployment

rate was unchanged at 3.9 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today.

Job gains occurred in professional and business services, health care, wholesale trade,

transportation and warehousing, and mining.

Since Donald J. Trump became President more people are working in the US than at any time in history. But the shocking news in today’s jobs release was related to the increase in jobs since the President was elected in late 2016.

The BLS data shows the following number of jobs added since 1939. But the number of new jobs is startling when compared to the GW Bush and Obama years –

Since 2000 the US has added a net increase of 16.2 million new jobs. Since 2007 the US has added a net increase of 10.5 million new jobs. But in 2017 and 2018 the US has added a net of 3.5 million new jobs.

This means that more than one third of the increase in jobs over the past 12 years have occurred under President Trump. Also, since the year 2000, more than 20% of the increase in jobs have been added during President Trump’s economy.

By comparison, both Presidents GW Bush and Obama incurred net decreases in jobs in there first 19 months on the job. GW Bush incurred a net decrease in jobs of (2.1) million while Obama lost a net (4.4) million jobs in his first 19 months on the job.

With the economy booming, GDP going up and damaging trade deals being addressed, the number of new jobs in the US will only continue to go up. This is what President Trump promised and this is what he is doing. MAGA
