The U.S. economy is roaring like never before, with a staggering 147,000 jobs added in June alone. This marks the fourth consecutive month that job growth has surpassed expectations, a clear testament to the effectiveness of President Trump’s policies.
With the unemployment rate plummeting to an impressive 4.1%, the news is undeniable: America’s job market is thriving. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confidently declared that if Congress passes the One Big Beautiful Bill, the economy will continue to flourish. The facts are clear: American workers have driven all job gains since President Trump took office, and wages are climbing consistently.
CNN’s Matt Egan summed it up perfectly, labeling the job market as “like the Energizer Bunny.” Despite widespread predictions of a slowdown, the unemployment rate not only held steady but decreased. The resilience of this job market defies the naysayers and reaffirms the strength of Republican policies.
Job Creators Network CEO Alfredo Ortiz rightly credited President Trump for this robust growth, attributing it to a powerful trifecta: trade, tax reform, and deregulation. This formula is all about one thing: creating jobs.
The June report crushed expectations, outperforming projections by Dow Jones, which anticipated just 110,000 new jobs. While sectors like mining and construction saw little change, the growth across other industries is unmistakable. And even as the federal government shed 7,000 jobs, the overall trend remains overwhelmingly positive for the nation’s workforce.
Average hourly wages surged to $36.30, reflecting a 3.7% year-over-year increase. Furthermore, native-born employment has risen by more than two million since January, while foreign-born employment has declined dramatically by over 500,000.
Contrary to former President Biden’s claims about job growth benefiting all Americans, recent studies reveal that a mere quarter of job creation during his administration went to native workers. This tracks closely with statistics indicating that foreign-born individuals previously accounted for nearly half of new job gains, a fact that cannot be ignored.
The data speaks volumes: President Trump’s approach is working. As we move forward, let’s champion policies that put Americans first and continue to fuel this economic engine. The era of uncertainty is over—America is on a path to sustained prosperity.
