The U.S. Department of Labor reported on Thursday that the country added 119,000 new jobs in September, more than double what analysts had anticipated, in a result that underscores the strength of the labor market and the impact of President Donald Trump’s economic policies.
On its official X account, the Department of Labor celebrated the month's performance with the message: “The employment report more than doubled expectations, with 119,000 new jobs created in September. Under the president's leadership, we are restoring the American Dream and unleashing historic prosperity for our workers.”
The White House also reacted enthusiastically, writing: “Thanks to President Trump, the employment report for September exceeded economists' expectations.”
Congressman Mario Díaz-Balart also added his congratulations, highlighting on X: “Our economy showed stronger-than-expected job growth, with 119,000 new positions in September.
"The president's pro-growth agenda is working and making a difference for American families," the congressman added.
The creation of 119,000 new jobs in September is not an isolated event, but part of a narrative sustained by the administration of Donald Trump, which has made economic growth and employment the cornerstones of its political campaign.
During a recent event in Miami, the former president arrived with a clear message: his priority is to keep the economy going and create jobs for Americans.
This speech has been supported by numbers. At the beginning of September, the government stated that 100,000 of the new jobs created during the summer were permanent, refuting criticisms that pointed out the temporary nature of the hiring.
These statistics consolidate a picture of sustained recovery that has been consistently praised by official spokespersons.
By August, the White House had acknowledged a slight deviation in its projections, but reaffirmed that employment data remained above historical averages, emphasizing that demand for labor continued to grow in key sectors.
This trend has strengthened the argument that Trump's economic policies are driving a "bottom-up" recovery focused on the working class.
