New from @BLS_gov - in August, the #unemployment rate remained at 3.7%, and has been under 4% for 18 consecutive months, the longest such streak since 1970!
The economy added 130k #jobs in August and wage growth remained strong. Nominal average hourly earnings for private workers have increased 3.2% over the past 12 months and 3.5% for private non-supervisory workers.
The African American unemployment rate fell to a new series low of 5.5 percent (series beginning in 1972). 
In total, the economy has added over 6.3 million jobs since President @realDonaldTrump was elected, nearly 4.5 million more jobs than @USCBO predicted would be created between the end of 2016 and the end of 2019:Q3.
