“JOBS, JOBS, JOBS!” the president tweeted following the report, using the hashtag “#PromisesMadePromisesKept.”“So jobs continue to be great. US employers added 225,000 new non-farm jobs last month, far surpassing expectations, thanks to big gains in construction and leisure and hospitality, but also health care and transportation, the Labor Department reported. Even with the big job gains in January, the unemployment rate ticked up by a tenth of a point to 3.6 percent. Trump has justified his confrontational trade policy with promises to help US manufacturing, but industries have not seen the big boost. Factory job growth simply hasn’t been noticeable for a year now,” Alliance for American Manufacturing President Scott Paul said in a statement.
