WASHINGTON - Acting Secretary of Labor Keith Sonderling issued the following statement regarding the August 2026 Employment Situation Report:
"President Trump's economic comeback continues to deliver for American workers and businesses, as this Administration has now surpassed 1 million new private-sector jobs. In August, the economy added 162,000 jobs, tripling expectations and marking the second-largest monthly gain of President Trump's second term. This year alone, the U.S. economy has added 643,000 jobs.
