Original Note:
Forbes states this is the "first jobs report since... Donald Trump’s inauguration." While true, Trump was not President during the survey period of the data used by the U.S. BLS, which included the 12th of the month. Trump was inaugurated on 1/20/25. https://www.bls.gov/web/empsit/cesprog.htm#Reference_Period Forbes article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/dereksaul/2025/02/07/january-jobs-report-reveals-weaker-growth-than-predicted-weakest-start-to-year-since-2016/
