Secretary of Labor Eugene Scalia Says That the Economy Is Doing Better Than CBO Forecasts

‘We’re doing much better than projected’

EXCERPT:

SCALIA: “And here's one of the items in this report that really leaps out at me that Congressional Budget Office, bipartisan, what they said in August of 2016 just before the election. They said that right now we'd have 4.9 percent unemployment and that we'd have created 1.9 million jobs. That’s what they were forecasting. Look. We’re at 3.6 percent unemployment and we’ve created 6.6 million jobs as a nation since the President took office. We’re doing much better than projected. What changed? The president changed, policy changed."
