The latest jobs report had good news for the country, but terrible news for the party of Big Government.
In January, the economy added 172,000 private sector jobs, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which was better than economists had expected (which seems to be a running theme in the Trump administration). And the unemployment rate ticked down to 4.3%.
So, what’s the bad news for Democrats? The number of federal government jobs shrank by 32,000.
Worse still, this is on top of a string of monthly government job losses since President Donald Trump took office.
