Trump's Labor Sec hypes 'new golden age' following strong jobs report
Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer expresses optimism after April's jobs report, highlighting growth areas in American industries.
America's job market is supposedly flourishing according to the Trump administration, with Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer announcing the onset of a new golden age.
"Trump said this golden age was coming and I'm here to tell you it's arrived," the secretary said on "Varney & Co." on a recent day. "This is an outstanding jobs report, better than anticipated. I couldn't be happier to serve under the President with these figures."
Employers collectively added 177,000 jobs in April, surpassing economist predictions slightly. However, the figure was lower than the 185,000 jobs added in March.

The unemployment rate remained steady at 4.2%, in line with predictions.
The April jobs report, released shortly after Trump completed his first 100 days in office, showed a strong performance with 177,000 new payrolls.
Government jobs increased across all levels, with a decline of 9,000 in the federal workforce more than offset by an increase of 6,000 in state government and 13,000 in local government.
Health care and various other sectors saw substantial growth, while employment in manufacturing declined by 1,000 jobs.
