March Jobs Report: Pro-Growth, Pro-America Policies Supercharging the Economy
WASHINGTON DC - America's economic engine is roaring back under President Donald Trump, shattering expectations for the second straight month as the Golden Age of America takes flight. March delivered a towering 228,000 new jobs—nearly 100,000 above economist predictions—marking the fourth-strongest private sector surge in two years. This job creation wave doubles the pace seen in January and February, as American companies aggressively bring operations back home in direct response to President Trump's transformative economic agenda.
“With President Trump’s leadership and Republicans in Congress focused on strengthening the private sector, the results we’re starting to see for job and wage growth show that America is healing,” said RSC Budget Task Force Chair Rep. Van Duyne. “Our continued efforts to slash job killing regulations, enact tax reforms to empower economic expansion, and get the federal government out of the way of our job creators will help deliver the opportunities our hard-working families need to enjoy the economic security they deserve.”
MARCH HIGHLIGHTS:
- 209,000 private sector jobs added – 69% above pre-election average
- 459,000 new full-time positions with 232,000 Americans joining workforce
- Wages up nearly 4% year-over-year for American workers
- Federal workforce shrank by 4,000 while private sector boomed
- Construction jobs increased despite critics' border policy concerns
