@GOPChairwoman @realDonaldTrump The labor market has strengths. Check out the trend in the number of U.S. jobs since 2000. The inherited job-creation trend that started in 2010 continues. 
@GOPChairwoman @realDonaldTrump POTUS changed his talking point (green). The job growth trend (blue), not so much.
@GOPChairwoman @realDonaldTrump Job growth has slowed a bit.
The economy added 7.3 million jobs over the 39 months from the Nov 2016 election to Feb 2020, about equal to what we added over the same months to Feb 2019.
It's fewer new jobs than we added over those months to Feb of 2018, 2017, 2016, or 2015.

@GOPChairwoman @realDonaldTrump POTUS promised he'd get us to 3.5% or 4% economic growth.
But growth is at 2.3% over the last year, 2.1% rate over the last quarter, and going down further.

@GOPChairwoman @realDonaldTrump POTUS promised we'd added 25 million jobs over the decade, a 2.5 million/year pace. How are we doing?
If reality matched that pace, over 900,000 more Americans would now have jobs.
