JOBS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “It was just put out that the United States economy added almost 5 million jobs in the month of June, shattering all expectations.
I was watching this morning, and the expectations were much lower than that. The stock market is doing extremely well, which means, to me, jobs. That’s what it means: jobs. This is the largest monthly jobs gain in the history of our country. The unemployment rate fell by more than 2 percentage points down to just about 11 percent. We’re down to the 11 percent number. We started at a number very much higher than that.”
-Donald Trump, “Remarks by President Trump on the Jobs Numbers Report,” whitehouse.gov, July 2, 2020
