Job Creators Network Statement on January Jobs Report

Alfredo Ortiz, CEO of Job Creators Network, released the following statement on the January jobs report, which showed 130,000 jobs created, the unemployment rate fell to 4.3%, and the labor force participation rate increased to 62.5%:

“January’s strong jobs report smashed expectations and signals a turning point in the US labor market where job creation finally catches up with broader strong economic conditions. Thanks to Republican pro-growth policies such as tax cuts, deregulation, and low inflation, the economy is growing quickly, and the stock market is at a record high. Now workers are starting to feel the benefit in terms of associated job creation and wage growth. The jobs report shows workers’ real wages continuing to significantly rise, a stark contrast to the Biden administration.

“The jobs report also demonstrates the Trump administration’s ongoing progress in cutting parasitical government jobs, which were down another 34,000 last month and around 10% since Trump took office. Strong private-sector job and wage growth to start the year, combined with the existing economic and financial market outperformance, sets 2026 up to mark the beginning of the next American Golden Age.”
