President Trump and Republicans Smash May Job Expectations

Rapid Response

A new jobs day report shows 172,000 new jobs were created in May, more than doubling expectations of 85,000.

Unemployment also remained low and steady at 4.3% and small businesses are stronger than ever thanks to Republicans' Working Families Tax Cuts — which every single Democrat voted against.




Not only did President Trump crush expectations in May, but March and April's Job reports were revised up.

 

President Trump and Republicans are working tirelessly to create opportunities for hardworking families, while Democrats still don't have their priorities straight.
