The White House celebrated Friday’s job numbers, which exceeded expectations and were the first to be released under President Trump’s watch.

“Great news for American workers: economy added 235,000 new jobs, unemployment rate drops to 4.7% in first report for @POTUS Trump,” press secretary Sean Spicer said on Twitter, citing Friday’s Bureau of Labor Statistics figures.

Bloomberg News had estimated that only 200,000 jobs would be added, while the unemployment rate fell from 4.8% in January.

“Not a bad way to start day 50 of this Administration,” Spicer added in a separate tweet.

The numbers cover February employment, which, as Spicer noted, was the first full month of the Trump presidency.

Trump made bringing jobs back to America the cornerstone of his presidential run.

The latest numbers represent the 77th straight month of job growth.

The Labor Department said more people began looking for jobs in February, a sign of confidence that raised the proportion of Americans working or seeking work to the highest level in nearly a year.

The gains in hiring and pay, along with higher consumer and business confidence since the November election, could lift spending and investment in coming months and accelerate economic growth.

Average hourly pay rose 2.8 percent year over year in February, a decent gain though slightly below historical averages. In a healthy economy, wages typically rise at a roughly 3.5 percent annual pace.

Last month’s hiring was boosted by 58,000 additional construction jobs, the most in nearly a decade and likely enhanced by unseasonably warm weather in much of the nation.

It was not just the Trump administration looking to spotlight the good news.

Mayor Bill de Blasio noted that the city’s unemployment rate dropped to 4.5 percent, lowest since 1976.

“We have a lower unemployment than the state or the nation,” de Blasio boasted during his weekly appearance on WNYC radio.
