Trump: The January Jobs Report ‘Smashed All Records’

‘But we got rid of tremendous numbers of federal workers’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “Thank you. The jobs report is amazing in certain ways because we have tremendously fewer federal employees, way down. Now, I could have left them and added to what we did and we would’ve had almost 100 percent employment. I could have gotten a great kick out of it, say we are 100 percent employed. But we got rid of tremendous numbers of federal workers. They hated me for it, now they love me because most of them have gotten jobs in the private sector for two or three times more money than they were being paid by the federal government. We had some jobs, we had 10 workers for one job. 10 workers for a job that one person should be doing, and we’ve gotten rid of a lot of those jobs. And by getting rid of them, these people became available to work in the private sector. And as you know, the numbers are incredible. So, the job numbers are incredible. The financial numbers are beyond belief.”
