Vance Reveals ‘Best Thing You Can Say About Trump Economy’

The United States added 119,000 jobs in September, blowing past expectations following a slowdown in hiring over the summer.

The Bureau of Labor and Statistics’ September jobs report, which was delayed by the 43-day federal government shutdown, showed an acceleration in jobs from the previous month.

Vice President JD Vance said the September jobs report indicates most of the job growth is benefiting “native-born American citizens.”

“You’re seeing the job growth go to native-born American citizens, and what happened under the Biden administration, to the extent that there was any job growth at all, is almost all the net job creation went to the foreign born,” he told Breitbart’s Matt Boyle. “Now, of course, some of those immigrants are legal immigrants to the United States, but that means that a lot of the job creation was actually going to illegal aliens that shouldn’t have been in our country.”

“The best thing you can say about the Trump economy is that American jobs are going to American workers for a change,” he continued.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt celebrated that the report “doubled market expectations.”

“In stark contrast to the disastrous Biden economy, almost all of these new jobs were in the private sector and went to American-born workers instead of illegal aliens,” Leavitt said. “Wages for workers are continuing to rise, a reversal of the Biden years where private sector wages declined by about $3,000 because of the Democrats’ inflation crisis.”

“This strong report is more proof that President [Donald] Trump’s pro-growth, America First agenda is already making great progress, and it will continue to deliver positive results for American families and businesses,” she continued.

The unemployment rate rose to 4.4%, according to the BLS data.

Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer described the jobs numbers as a “solid report for the American people.”

However, she told FOX Business Network’s Varney & Co. manufacturing jobs have “not been exactly where we want them to be.”

DeRemer predicted this will reverse soon but will “take some time because of the investments the president has done with a lot of these companies as well as the trade deals he has made.”
