Vance and Labor Department Touted Jobs Data That Trump Now Hates

Vice President JD Vance and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer sought to put a positive spin on weak jobs numbers hours before their boss, President Donald Trump, fired the person who oversees the data, claiming without evidence that the dour report was politically motivated.

Vance reposted a graphic on X that showed the number of native-born workers increased while employment of foreign-born workers declined, suggesting that was a result of Trump administration immigration policy.
