The employment peak came in January 2026, and dropped the following month. However, population growth drives this metric, so economists do not consider it a meaningful statistic. Two other statistics — the labor force participation rate and the employment-population ratio — are relatively high by historical standards but not at their all-time highs. In his second term, Trump’s job creation is drastically underperforming his predecessors — Barack Obama, Joe Biden and himself in his first term.
