Under Trump, the Private Sector Is Driving All New Job Creation
President Trump revealed at Federal Reserve Chair nominee Kevin Warsh’s confirmation hearing that “100 percent” of the new jobs created since 2025 have been in the private sector, as the Trump administration has sought to root out unnecessary bureaucrats within the federal government.
He went on to say that despite the negative press the downsizing of the federal government received, many workers who were forced into private-sector jobs are now earning “double, triple, quadruple the pay” they made in government and are, better off following the transition.
"And very importantly, 100 percent of the net new jobs under this administration have been created in the private sector, which is a number that nobody has ever achieved," the president said. "Think of that. They're all in the private sector."
