The Republican nominee in the 2024 United States presidential election Donald Trump called the latest jobs report "pitiful" and "worst in history," noting that the "economy stinks."
"Four days before the election they have among the worst numbers ever in history... they did 12,000 jobs, normally you're 250, 300,000... it's hundreds of thousands of jobs less than it should be," said Trump, blasting his Democratic opponent Vice President Kamala Harris as a "low IQ person."
"A few months ago they fraudulently claimed 818,000 jobs... it was a fraud, everything they do is a fraud," Trump stated, repeating that the nonfarm employment figures for March this year were faked.
