Secretary Sonderling statement on September jobs report

WASHINGTON - Secretary of Labor Keith Sonderling issued the following statement regarding the September 2026 Employment Situation Report:

"President Trump's economic agenda continues to deliver for American workers and businesses. Construction employment rose 11,000 in September, marking seven straight months of growth. Manufacturing employment also continues to expand, adding 9,000 jobs in September and 72,000 for the year.

"After years of decline under the previous administration, President Trump is driving an industrial renaissance that continues to expand. Thanks to trillions of dollars of investment and the historic relief provided by the Working Families Tax Cuts, American workers are keeping more of what they earn while businesses have the certainty to invest and hire."
