JOBS, JOBS, JOBS: Explosive Job Growth in March as Trump Economy Booms

Today's jobs report shows the private sector is roaring back under President Donald J. Trump - smashing expectations for the second straight month as the Golden Age of America is well on its way.

In March, the U.S. added 228,000 jobs - nearly 100,000 more jobs than economists predicted and the fourth-highest month for private payroll growth in the past two years. In fact, last month's jobs increase is roughly twice the pace of the previous two months.

The report highlights a resilient labor market as companies aggressively onshore jobs amid President Trump's bold trade and economic agenda.

• Private employment grew by 209,000 jobs - well above the pre-election 12-month average of 124,000 jobs:
  • + 23,700 jobs in retail trade.
  • + 22,900 jobs in transportation and warehousing.
  • + 13,000 jobs in construction.
• The number of full-time workers increased by a remarkable 459,000 over last month, while labor force participation grew by 232,000 as more Americans seek jobs.
• Americans' wages are up, with nominal hourly wages rising by nearly 4% over the past year.
• Under Biden, government and government-adjacent employment accounted for nearly three-fourths of new employment. Under President Trump, that number dropped to just 42% in March.
