TRUMP: “The unemployment rate fell by more than 2 percentage points down to just about 11 percent, we are down to the 11 percent number. We started at a number very much higher than that, as you know, we broke the record last month and we broke it again this month in an even bigger way. This news comes on top of May’s extraordinary jobs report which was revised upwards, by the way, to 2.7 million jobs, it was 2.5 that was last month and that was a record setter, but it actually got a little bit better, we revised it, it was revised upward to 2.7 million jobs for a combined total of 7.5 million jobs created in the last two months and that’s a record by many millions of jobs. So it’s 7.5 million Jobs treated in the last two months alone.
Today’s announcement proves that our economy is roaring back, it’s coming back extremely strong. We have some areas where we’re putting out the flames or the fires and that’s working out well. We are working very closely with governors and I think it’s working out very well. I think you will see that shortly. In June we added 2.1 million leisure and hospitality jobs; 740,000 retail jobs; 568,000 education and health care jobs; 357,000 service jobs — these are all historic numbers. And 356,000 manufacturing jobs, and manufacturing looks like it’s ready to really take off at a level it’s never been before and a lot of that has to do with our trade policy, because we’re bringing manufacturing back to our country and these take a long time to get going and they’re now going. So these are historic numbers. I’m really happy when I see 356,000 manufacturing jobs, and that’s just a small number compared to what it will be soon because of our great trade deals.”
