BREAKING: The U.S. unemployment rate fell to 13.3% in May, slightly below the April high of 14.7%, as the U.S. economy added 2.5 million jobs in May.

Employers added 2.5 million jobs last month as economic activity slowly resumes andThe numbers represent a much more optimistic view for the economy moving forward. President Donald Trump tweeted after the report was released, writing,"Really Big Jobs Report. Great going President Trump !"Some of the most notable job gains in May occurred in leisure and hospitality, construction and retail trade as those sectors begin to reopen.

"These improvements in the labor market reflected a limited resumption of economic activity that had been curtailed in March and April due to the coronavirus pandemic and efforts to contain it," the government said in its news release Friday. The leisure and hospitality sector saw an increase of 1.2 million jobs in May after losses of 7.5 million jobs in April. Food and drinking places gained 1.4 million jobs last month after losing more than 6 million jobs in March and April combined.

Employment in construction increased by 464,000 in May, gaining back almost half of the jobs lost in April. Meanwhile, employment in retail rose by 368,000 last month but lost more than 2 million jobs in April. The accommodation industry, however, lost 148,000 jobs last month and 1.1 million jobs in total since February.

7 President Trump tries to take credit for doing nothing other than hiding in a bunker and turning out the White House Lights

This is a one trick pony...gin up the stock market and jobs report...with everything else going on in the country, this is playing to an ever dwindling audience of corrupt billionaires and ignorant, treason loving MAGAt sheep. The only way to beat this is to vote all of them out.

realDonaldTrump. Bullshit, how many files for unemployment. Numbers are cooked up by Trump cronies!

Vidas Negras importam!!! realDonaldTrump

13% is a success!!! Double digits. Oh...and over 100k people have died but F--ty Arbuckle needs an 'atta boy'? What a pathetic p.o.s.!

3 1//2 years to achieve 25 trillion in debt, 40,000,000 Americans out of work, protests against police brutality in every state. Great.

Aug. 11, 2015 “Then you hear there's a 5.4 percent unemployment. It's really — if you add it up, it's probably 40 percent if you think about it.” DJT

I don’t think the average person understands how big a 1.5% drop in the unemployment rate is. Businesses are opening back up and people are getting back to work.

Get people back to work, because this thing has already done it's dash. The quicker the better, and it takes the fear out of this thing that's got a kill ratio so small it never warranted these psyop measures.

VERY BIG -Trump Creating Jobs With DEATH and DISEASE! 109,731 Americans Are DEAD Today from COVID19 - That Number is UP by 1,050 Deaths Since Yesterday - THREE Times MORE Deaths Than ANY Other Country In The World!

Slightly below=2.5 million

we back baby

wsteaks Uh oh, economic recovery on the horizon, better start a riot. Who is it that has been begging for economic and social catastrophes for the last 4 years? Seems like they got their wish.

Slightly below? When the “experts” were predicting a 8 million job loss? Our media is garbage.

The 2.5 million scum rioters are counted as employed now? I guess they do work for Soros 🙏🏻🇺🇸

Um 1.4% is not slight when talking about an unemployment gain in one month.

This doesn't sound right

That's fantastic good news for the American people! They get to return to thier jobs.
