Policy-Driven Job Growth In April Exceed 130,000 Growth Expectations; Media Hopes 4 Recession

Peter St Onge, a Ph.D. economist with The Heritage Foundation, posted on May 5, 2025, about a strong U.S. jobs report for April, highlighting 177,000 new private sector jobs—surpassing the expected 130,000—driven by Trump-era policies like deregulation and tariffs, contrasting with media expectations of a recession.

The post aligns with a White House report from April 4, 2025, noting private employment growth of 209,000 jobs in March, with full-time workers increasing by 459,000, reflecting a shift from government-heavy job growth under Biden (75% of new jobs) to private sector dominance under Trump (42% government jobs in March). --DOGE https://x.com/profstonge/status/1919368988120752329
