  • The bulk of new jobs in April came from industries that do not necessarily reflect the administration's priorities.

The article from Fortune, dated May 2, 2025, discusses the strong U.S. jobs report for April, which showed an addition of 278,000 jobs, surpassing expectations. However, the report's implications are not entirely favorable for former President Donald Trump, who is running for office again. The article highlights that while the job growth is robust, it is driven by sectors like government and healthcare, not the manufacturing and energy sectors that Trump had emphasized during his presidency. Additionally, the unemployment rate ticked up to 3.9%, and wage growth slowed, which could be seen as signs of a cooling economy. The strong job numbers might bolster President Biden's economic record, complicating Trump's campaign narrative that the economy was better under his leadership.
