Kush Desai, Special Assistant to the President and Senior Deputy Press Secretary for the White House, praised the August jobs data on social media. He stated, “The U.S. added 162,000 jobs in August, three times more than economists expected. During President Trump’s administration, the private sector has created over one million jobs to date, and his reindustrialization agenda continues to drive job growth in manufacturing and factory construction. The U.S. is in the midst of a historic investment boom, and the August jobs report is the latest data showing that Americans are benefiting from the Trump administration’s policies to promote economic growth. The best is yet to come; ordinary Americans will see more jobs, higher wages, and stronger economic growth.”
