Secretary Chavez-DeRemer statement on June jobs report

WASHINGTON – U.S. Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer issued the following statement regarding the June 2025 Employment Situation Report:

“Last month’s strong jobs numbers show that our economy continues to surge under President Trump’s leadership. Month after month, economic indicators confirm that the great American comeback is in full swing. Thanks to President Trump’s bold America First agenda, 147,000 jobs were created just this month, beating expectations for the fourth month in a row – with more on the way as businesses bring production back home.

“As I travel the country on my America at Work listening tour, it’s clear hardworking men and women are tired of the broken status quo and the America Last policies of previous administrations, which shipped jobs overseas and drove up prices. Now, they have a President who is fighting for them and delivering results – wages continue to rise, prices are coming down, and Americans are getting to work.

“We’re just getting started. Putting the One Big Beautiful Bill on President Trump’s desk will deliver the largest tax cut in history for working families, eliminate taxes on overtime pay, and lower costs for small businesses. This historic legislation will build on the momentum we have seen and unleash a new Golden Age of opportunity for American workers.”
