Once is an accident. Twice is a coincidence. Three times is a pattern. And that\u2019s where we sit with economic reports under President Trump. The April jobs report shattered industry expectations, adding 177,000 jobs. The Bureau of Labor Statistics print even beat the highest Wall Street forecast of 171,000 jobs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe’ve created 350,000 new jobs and brought core inflation down to its lowest level in many, \u00a0 many years,\u201d Trump said in his commencement address at the University of Alabama.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The assessment<\/a> of the National Association of Realtors will be music to the president\u2019s ears: \u201cIncome growth is outpacing consumer price inflation. Regardless of what may be happening on Wall Street \u2026 Main Street America continues to move forward.” Perhaps no better indicator of that lies in the native versus foreign-born worker comparison. In April, more than one million native-born workers were added to the labor force, as more than 400,000 foreign born left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cFor the first time in recent memory, job gains for native-born Americans now exceed job gains for foreign workers,\u201d Trump declared<\/a> in Macomb County, Michigan Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In fact, native-born workers have fueled more than 97% of the job growth seen under Trump. That stands in stark contrast with former President Joe Biden\u2019s economic measures. Under Biden native-born workers only accounted for 56% of job growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report saw a 305,000 increase in full-time workers and a 56,000 increase in part-time workers. More than 95% of all jobs added under Trump have come from the private sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI’m proud to be the president for the workers and not the outsourcers,\u201d Trump said Tuesday. \u201cA president who stands up for Main Street, not Wall Street.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

To cap it off, jobs in the federal government declined again in April for the fourth month in a row.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bottom line is this: Trump\u2019s March jobs report, Trump\u2019s March Consumer Price Index report, and Trump\u2019s March Producer Price Index report all beat industry expectations. Now April\u2019s jobs report has done so. Beating expectations is no longer a coincidence for this White House. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But a pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
