Description
Today’s jobs report looks confusing at first glance: job growth came in at just 50,000—well below expectations—yet the unemployment rate fell. In this episode of the Navarro Express, Peter Navarro explains why that’s not a contradiction at all. The answer is simple economics and strong border enforcement. When President Trump sealed the border and slowed the flood of illegal labor into the workforce, the economy no longer needed massive monthly job creation just to stand still. Fewer new workers mean fewer new jobs are required to maintain full employment. Same economy. Different math. And a clear policy win for American workers.
