Trump touts strong jobs numbers amid skeptical economists
The article tracks Trump claims of 594 000 net new jobs from February through May, comparing with Obama-era gains and June 2017 projections. It cites economists calling growth solid but not great, notes a 4.3 percent May unemployment rate as the lowest since 2001, and mentions White House officials touting early job gains and stock market highs amid revisions to earlier figures. It also references Trump’s past criticisms of unemployment rate calculations.
