These numbers are certainly better than expected, but it’s a shame about the timing. The media will be so busy freaking out about the stock market today that they won’t even notice the jobs numbers - which, conveniently, means Trump won’t win any points.

The silver lining in the poor manufacturing jobs numbers is that when Trump manages to get manufacturing soaring in growth, the percentage increase will be so huge that even corporate media won’t be able to ignore it. The voters will notice, too!
Thanks once again for your objective analysis, Peter. You earn your readers’ trust and respect,
During President Trump's first term, even the New York Times--no friend to Donald Trump--was compelled to acknowledge that Trump's stewardship of the economy had been good for employment, that everyone who wanted a job in this country was able to find one.
Certainly President Trump's Agenda 47 commitment to make America a "manufacturing superpower" will necessarily have salutary effects on employment and on wages in this country.
There is no guarantee that President Trump's chosen strategies will result in that outcome, and we should not make the mistake of presuming that the intent will be the result regardless of the strategy selected. The tariffs could backfire. The DOGE chainsaw could do more harm than good. The tax plans could burden the US with too much additional debt.
However, the reality of the election is that 77 million Americans voted for Agenda 47 to be the policy of the United States and that President Trump was to have his opportunity to implement Agenda 47. Implementing Agenda 47 is what President Trump is doing, exactly as he said he would be doing it.
I hope he succeeds, but I'll only criticize him if his strategies do not result in the Agenda 47 objectives being met or if/when he strays from Agenda 47.
