Trump posted labor market figures on Truth Social before U.S. Department of Labor release

President Donald Trump posted labor market figures on Truth Social before the statistics were released by the U.S. Department of Labor.

In a post, Trump shared a graph of the number of new jobs since January, figures that matched the data released on Friday afternoon local time in Sweden by the department.

The US president is informed of the monthly statistics one day in advance. The jobs figures are traditionally seen as extremely important because they affect how the US Federal Reserve will act regarding possible changes to the policy rate.
