The January jobs numbers were yet another economic win for President Donald Trump.
The report came in, and the 130,000 jobs nearly doubled expectations. In fact there were dire predictions about the numbers that were postponed because of the most recent partial government shutdown.
We'll get another check on the economy's health when the January inflation numbers come out tomorrow.
Trump's list of economic wins in his new term include:
- The passing of the Big, Beautiful Bill
- Wall Street record highs
- 4.3% GDP growth in the third quarter of 2025
- Trump accounts
- The lowest gas prices in five years
- Wage growth
- Controlling inflation
