The U.S. economy added a robust 235,000 jobs in February, the first full month of the Trump administration, while the unemployment rate fell to 4.7 percent.

The report released Friday exceeded expectations and continued the 77-month-long expansion of the labor market that started under former President Obama. Job gains have averaged 209,000 over the past three months. 

Trump retweeted a story on the jobs report but didn’t make any stand-alone comments on the healthy February numbers.

..

During the campaign Trump implored supporters not to "believe those phony numbers,” calling the monthly jobs number one of the “biggest hoaxes.”

Since taking office, however, he has all but embraced the government data along with separate numbers that track private-sector growth, which have shown strong growth since he took office.

Trump has vowed to bring jobs back to U.S. shores behind tax reform that his administration says will in turn accelerate the nation's economic growth.

..

Unusually warm winter weather helped boost the February numbers, especially in the construction sector, which added 58,000 jobs, the most since March 2007. Construction has added 177,000 jobs over the past six months.

This is left over Obama economy/jobs. Not trump.

Actually it is 100% Trump. Obama left office January 21, this is February. trump is a businessman, he is very good with the economy and jobs and has outperformed expectations with job creation

These were fake numbers to dumb conservatives when Obama did it and now they are creaming over Trump's first month. 

This is partly due to Obama. Trump can start taking credit in a few months.

The job rate has been increasing at this rate for well over the past couple of years now. Also, the past two years, February has been a high month of job increases. We were at 4.6 and 4.7 several times last year. Yes, the economy has been getting better, but it was Obama that brought us back from the recession and kept us from going into a depression. 

Ironically, these numbers are the ones that Trump said were "phony" just a few months ago. Now, they are real. Lol :smh:

It doesnt state that Obama added the jobs, it says that Trump is on par with Obama and Trump is on track to add 25 million jobs. 

Did you miss this quote?

"Adding 208,000 jobs a month won't be possible after awhile, Gould says. There won't be enough workers left to fill the posts, at least not without immigration, something Trump is pushing to limit."
