Washington, D.C.— U.S. President Donald Trump celebrated the results of the latest jobs report, which showed the creation of 165,000 jobs in October, a figure considerably higher than economic experts' forecasts.
"We just received another extraordinary jobs report
that exceeded all expectations. The employment numbers are through the roof.
The United States just added 165,000 jobs in October," the president said.
Trump placed particular emphasis on the performance of the
manufacturing industry, which added 19,000 new workers during the month, a
result his administration presents as a sign of recovery in national
production.
"Including 19,000 new manufacturing jobs, the largest
monthly increase in many, many decades," he stated. The White House
highlighted that this is the largest monthly increase in manufacturing since
2023. The figure represents significant progress for a sector that Trump has
placed at the center of his economic strategy, through incentives for domestic
production, trade measures, and policies aimed at reducing dependence on
imports.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the
165,000 jobs created in October far exceeded the approximately 65,000
anticipated by economists surveyed by Reuters.
