Secretary Chavez-DeRemer statement on March jobs report
WASHINGTON - U.S. Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer issued the following statement regarding the March 2026 Employment Situation Report:
"One year since Liberation Day, America's economic comeback is on full display: Job growth smashed expectations, with a remarkable 178,000 jobs added in March. President Trump's economic policies are working as planned, and Americans are feeling the benefits as we reindustrialize our nation after years of decline under the previous administration.
"Through the Working Families Tax Cuts, historic private investments, and fair trade policies, President Trump is putting more money in Americans' pockets and empowering job creators. This is evident through strong growth in construction jobs, particularly factory construction, and manufacturing having its first positive quarter in several years - proving that we are bringing production back to the United States.
"Thanks to President Trump's America First agenda, more than 600,000 private-sector jobs have been created since he took office, and wage growth remains strong. American workers are winning again, and the Golden Age of America is upon us."
