President Trump says "The United States has the BEST Employment Numbers in HISTORY," citing Fox News and accusing the "Fake News Media" of refusing to report it. The post follows the August 2026 BLS report showing nonfarm payrolls up 162,000 — more than five times the prior year's 31,000-a-month average — unemployment steady at 4.1%, and labor force participation rising to 61.6% from 61.4%. When people re-enter the labor force, the unemployment rate normally ticks up as they start counting as job-seekers, so holding it steady means the economy absorbed those returning workers rather than leaving them stranded. That is the signature of a labor market actually pulling people back in.
