Today, President Trump makes a visit to Louisiana to tour the phenomenal economic and energy growth in the Pelican State.
As he arrives in Louisiana, it’s clear that President Trump is committed to establishing American energy dominance. Since the president has taken office, he has unleashed the potential of oil and gas development, expanded resources and infrastructure, and pulled our nation out of the disastrous Paris Climate Agreement. These are just a few of the many achievements the president has delivered for Americans in the energy sector.
President Trump also has our economy roaring! Here are just a few of the unprecedented gains:
- The U.S. economy grew 3.2% in the first quarter of 2019, far exceeding expectations.
- April’s jobs report smashed expectations by adding an incredible 263,000 new jobs and the unemployment rate dropped to 3.6% - the lowest point since 1969.
- Over six million jobs have been created since President Trump was elected.
- With the great first quarter GDP news came a surge in U.S. exports, creating a “sharp contraction in the trade deficit."
- Manufacturing jobs are flooding back to the US, and manufacturing confidence is at record highs thanks to President Trump.
- The National Association of Manufacturing shows nine consecutive quarters of record optimism, with an average of 91.8 percent of manufacturers positive about their outlook.
- A plurality say their personal financial situation is better off today than it was when President Trump took office.
- America’s GDP grew 3.1% from the Q4 of 2017 to the Q4 of 2018 – the fastest growth in 13 years.
- Despite Democrats’ debunked talking points, we’ve seen the largest wage gains in a decade.
- In 2018, more than 2.6 million jobs were created. There are more job openings than people looking for work.
- The unemployment rate is at or below 4% for the 14th straight month.
“Thanks to President Trump, our nation’s unemployment rate is at record lows, the roaring economy has been smashing expectations, and energy production is a high priority. Louisianans are seeing more money in their pockets and a better future for their families thanks to Republican leadership.” -RNC Spokesperson Ellie Hockenbury
