White House senior deputy press secretary Kush Desai said on social media that U.S. payrolls rose by 162,000 in August, about three times economists' expectations. He said the private sector has created over 1.0 mln jobs under President Trump and that the administration's reindustrialization agenda is boosting hiring in manufacturing and plant construction, describing the economy as amid a historic investment boom and forecasting further job gains, higher wages and stronger growth.
