NIce job Trump voters. You've really helped the working class that the Democrats were crushing for four years.

The most significant growth under any administration since President Richard Nixon.

Other presidents have reported negative growth over the past six decades: Ronald Reagan (negative 0.9 percent), George H.W. Bush (negative 3 percent), Bill Clinton (negative 0.6 percent), George W. Bush (negative 0.6 percent), and Barack Obama (negative 0.3 percent).

Only if it continues. This is a good start, but we need manufacturing to return to continue the trend.

Absolutely. America does not have a future without a strong manufacturing base.

Bad news for the democrat party's political strategy which is suppress wages, increase inflation, then tell Americans it is MAGA's fault and the democrats are here to save them.

And yet the labor force participation rate is lower now than when Trump took office. Perhaps the two are related.......

Agreed and those workers need to stand together and demand increased wages and benefits.
