The Spin

Pro-Trump narrative

The May jobs report highlights the strength of President Trump's economic policies, with job creation beating expectations for the third consecutive month. The private sector-led growth while government bloat was trimmed through efficiency measures. Strong wage growth and solid employment numbers demonstrate that America's economy is thriving under pro-business leadership.

Anti-Trump narrative

Despite beating expectations, the jobs report reveals troubling signs of economic cooling, with significant downward revisions to previous months and the worst five-month start since the Great Recession. The employment-to-population ratio hit pandemic lows while manufacturing jobs declined, contradicting Trump's claims of a booming economy.
