The comments echoed remarks Trump made last year, when he urged residents in upstate New York to leave their homes and move to states with better job prospects.

Trump has frequently highlighted the strength of the economy on Twitter and in speeches, noting that unemployment has fallen, job openings have increased and gross domestic product has surged.

The president bragged before during a trip to North Carolina to assess the damage caused by Hurricane Florence on Wednesday that the economy was doing better than ever.

U.S. job openings in July surged to a record high while the number of people who quit their jobs rose to the highest level in 17 years, the Labor Department reported earlier this month. Job postings exceeded the number of unemployed people by 659,000 in July, the most since 2000.
