'JOBS, JOBS, JOBS! 'Jobs surge in April, unemployment rate falls to the lowest since 1969.'' Trump tweeted. Facts first: The jobs report for April shows a very strong economy, with the unemployment rate at a 50-year low.

"JOBS, JOBS, JOBS! 'Jobs surge in April, unemployment rate falls to the lowest since 1969.'" Trump tweeted.Facts first: The jobs report for April shows a very strong economy, with the unemployment rate at a 50-year low. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Friday that in April, the US added 263,000 jobs. The unemployment rate fell to 3.6% from 3.8% in March.

Read MoreBut the drop in the unemployment rate is also due to fewer Americans looking for work. The number of Americans in the labor market fell during April, decreasing from 63% in March to 62.8% in April. The US economy still has more job openings than unemployed people, which raises questions about how the US will work to expand the labor force, whether through training programs, high-skilled immigration and other efforts.

BestPresidentEVER JobsReport FactsDontLiePeopleDo

Thank you President Trump!

How about how many hate crimes are up,how many lost loved ones

It's hard to believe that CNN actually reports the truth (once) in over a decade News companies like CNN should be held responsible for all the fake news reported as fact. BOYCOTT CNN

YES, FACT: After astounding JOBS/GDP growth reports, The entire MSM is pulling hair out, trying to find a negative spin & crediting BO. Just tell the TRUTH! The level of hurt for doing so will only be in direct proportion to your continued Mis-representations, Lies & FAKE News.

It's about time you started reporting the facts CNN

DJT

You can't LIE about the numbers CNN.

I just lost consciousness. CNN actually said something positive about our President.

Giving realDonaldTrump the credit he deserves....?!? Amazing.

MAGA!!!

👏🏻cnn

Thank God for BarackObama’s policies. With the economy doing so well, the taxpayers can finally afford open borders, free college for the poor, needles for junkies and we can pay off our national debt.

Fact: the number of jobs created so far in Trump’s term ranks 6 out of 14 among all Presidents in the last 50 years.

Congratulations

Fake news CNN. Will give credit to the first African American President, Barack Hussein Obama.

Really you are one big joke!

Barely 200 likes of your tweet from millions of followers. You have a problem with your readers being anti-america tds

😳😳😳 am I seeing this right?

Classic CNN - have to find a negative in a positive

These numbers are despite Trump and his Administration, not because of him, he is just taking credit

Trump wins. CNN loses. Should be shuttered.

Wow! New leaf for ? Non biased is a nice colour on you guys. You should wear it more.

WTF has happened to CNN?

Maga

It must've killed you to write that headline. Abracadabra MagicWand I can remember how CNN was saying the economy would tank if Trump got elected.

Hope you are blaming Trump for this. Betcha don't...

Dang

Because we all have to have 2and 3 jobs to make ends meet after trump tax cuts

Thank you CNN for giving credit where credit is due! Trump2020

Don’t know if I’m believing these good jobs numbers or the inflation numbers. They are campaign points for trump and prevents raising interest rates

Yeah 🖕🖕🖕 👇👇 Disclaimer: Be advised that you most likely have to do 3 of those jobs as most of do not pay a living wage.

Easy win for Trump in 2020

I bet this article was very hard for CNN to put out. How long did your staff cry before they finally hit the send button?

while American just think 🤑 Trump is laughing at America shame on us all...

Is this a good time to REMIND REPUBLICANS for 8 yrs THEIR REMARKS each time they reflected POSITIVE INFORMATION (to the Man) they had checked & found to Fabricate by an Obama flunky that could not be identified? Republicans FOUND HIM & put him on the Payroll?

I believe a man who is not afraid to say what he will do, even when it is contrary popular opinion. I have always known you will do well. Just that they didn't give you a smooth running. Just imagine what you could have achieved by now if you had support. Congratulations Trump

CNN just candle that Trump is doing a great job! get over it

Economic is roaring why this foolish Dems in congress are busy crying about Muller's report. Muller is a real swamp croc that was trying to trap the president. the FBI Used dirty tactics to spy on america citizen is evil

Based on the low wages and the ability of citizens to make enough money to live on, I wonder how many of these jobs are filled by the same person. It is really sad the richest nation in the world can not provide a employee one job with enough money to live on.

Thank you realDonaldTrump

Isn’t it ironic that every business in America is doing well u see trump except CNN🤔

Thanks, Obama!

It’s really terrible that the economy is doing so well. I can’t stand it that I have extra money to spend. And that my friends and family have extra money to spend. This is just awful.

I'm confused, what jobs did these people get? number of people in the civilian workforce dropped by 490,000, and people not in the workforce increased by 646,000. Also the number of people employed actually decreased by 103,000.

That had to hurt CNN. 😃😂

Thanks Obama

FedHead Powell is a good poker player, He has to see inflation soon with a crashing market resulting from those first signs. Trump foolishly failed to increase taxes at least to Bill Clinton's level in the 90s. He and the GOP will pay a steep price for that later,

Thanks Obama for creating an economy so strong that can withstand the stupid decisions from a con man who has bankrupted several casinos.

Oh people this is great!!!! Watch what happens when we have to start paying back the debt trump managed to create. And of course the Democrats will be held responsible for that, right?

Thank you President Obama! !

Yet TheDemocrats WANT TO DESTROY IT ALL W/ SOCIALISM

Are you guys hurt about that?

Do some fact checking. What type of jobs really? These are mostly low paying minimum wage and part time. Very few employers are hiring full time. If they do then they have to offer insurance which part time workers aren't eligible for. Same thing as higher pay less hours.

Low paying jobs. Trump hasn’t done nothing for the poor Red States like Kentucky,Mississippi, & that shit hole they call Alabama.

An intern is about to be unemployed....

He'll probably be quoting CNN next on this one...

Wow did someone make a real news typo at cnn?

President Trump Tells Fake News “Eat This”

April unemployment 3.6% the lowest in 49 years. 263,000 jobs created.

Seriously, people have stopped looking for jobs, they usually are considered part time with no benefits. We made less money the last two years and had to pay 3,500 in Federal tax after calculating our taxes, first time we had to pay.

Unemployment Rate for Women Falls to Lowest Since 1953...DEMOCRATS STILL CRY FOR IMPEACHMENT!

263,000 NEW JOBS CREATED IN APRIL WITH A 3.6% UNEMPLOYMENT RATE, A 49 YEAR LOW! 3 MAJOR WINNING!!!

Never the less....those not in the labor force needs to be but from 80 million to 40 million. End phony welfare & phony disability. That is the last mountain to climb. It's out there...eradicate it.

Yeah, but most new jobs are probably part time. Full time jobs are disappearing fast, and soon we’ll all be working 3 or 4 PT jobs to make ends meet. If not that, FT workers have to take on a second or third PT job. Rein in corporate greed and wasteful spending, then talk jobs.

Whatever intern tweeted this is getting canned

Haha beat that dems !!

Trump falsified his claims as always.

Sorry CNN

TRUMP2020LANDSLIDE incoming...... time to hold Dems accountable

The trump economy. I own an auto repair shop. Borrow $5 mil. to expand building, hire contractor hire more staff Jobs! Jobs! What I have to pay back the$5 mil + interest. How am I going do that? I’ll just ignore the pay back

Siriusjay

TEMPORARY STAFFING = INSTANT JOBS TEMPORARY STAFFING = INSTANT JOBS RANDSTAD, ACCUSTAFFING LABOR READY, WESTAFF STRATUS SERVICES PROTOCALL... LABOR READY WORK TODAY, GET PAID TONIGHT: DAILY PAY WITH LABOR READY, WORK ONE DAY, OPTIONALLY WORK AGAIN TOMORROW! WhiteHouse

are indeed the enemy of the people . So insolent and envious of Trump achievement. God willing Trump wins in 2020 there goes the network will drop 101% in rating

Too bad it doesn't reflect any of his historic policies. He just happens to be in the seat hes done nothing.

Leaving this here for all the bimbos who keep claiming wages aren’t rising dispite cost of living inflation going up.

This has to be a first. CNN saying Trump correct. I’m having trouble wrapping my head around this. FakeNews telling the truth? 🤯

Man this must be painful....

So the news is that Trump has actually told the truth about something. Are you sure?

It must kill to have to report this. TRUMP2020 🇺🇸

Nice negative spin. 50 years ago it was better....

CNN trying out some truth to see if that will get some ratings back

OMG, CNN, President Trump is doing right by the People....OMG..56% approval rating! By the way CNN how’s your Ratings? FakeNews

Donnie is CEO not a president. There is moral behavior example kind leader he shows himself to be

Are jobs the only determinant of good economy? What good is job today if my retirement is not secured? Since the Trump era, I've been losing serious money from my 401K - is this exclusive of good economy?

In Oct 2016 ( a month before the election) unemployment rate was 4.9%. Today it is 3.6%. A whopping 1.3% change over a 2 year period. Trump inherited a growing and robust economy from Obama and has managed to capitalize on it.

That's all well and good but we still have crooks, crooks, crooks running the country.

Is asylum seeker counts as unemployment

The the difference between a Community Organizer an Businessman with a vision. No “magic wand “ needed.

For the morons saying Obama did this. How about you think about the numbers getting better if illegals arent allowed in this Country? Don't worry I'll wait.

The fact that so many Americans work two jobs to make ends meet should factor in as well

Before I even read it......they give Obama the credit didn’t they?

...and you want us to believe your 'facts' CNN? 😂😅😂😅

It must kill CNN to report actual news.

I love how much it hurts you to admit that Donald Trump was right. The economy is booming. JobsNotMobs VoteGOP

Lmfao'.... FNN-still sucks though! 🔥CNN🔥

Wow...someone at CNN just had a stroke.

And these below?

STILL RIDING THE OBAMA WORK. TRUMP HAS DONE NOTHING BUT MAKE PROMISE'S TO FARMERS AND COAL PEOPLE..HE LIED.

The guy has done an amazing job. Great time to be an American🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
