“More Americans are working today than at any time in the history of our country.”

The claim that 'more Americans are working today than at any time in the history of our country' is technically accurate based on Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data. Because the U.S. population and economy have grown steadily over the last several decades, total nonfarm employment frequently hits new record highs. However, this statistic is a common feature of a growing economy and does not necessarily reflect the strength of current job growth. Independent analysis indicates that while the raw number of employed persons is high, the rate of job creation during the current administration has been significantly slower compared to historical standards and previous administrations. Therefore, while the raw figure is factually correct, it is often used to frame the economy in a more positive light than the underlying growth metrics might suggest.
