U.S. Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer commented on the March 2025 Employment Situation Report, acknowledging the economic growth observed this month. "March’s incredibly strong jobs report reflects President Trump’s efforts to reshape and rebuild our economy to put the American Worker First, with over 13,000 construction jobs added," said Chavez-DeRemer. Furthermore, the job growth was considerable, with 228,000 positions created, surpassing expectations.
The Secretary noted the impact of the Trump Administration’s focus on efficiency across government sectors. "As expected, this report also reflects the Trump Administration’s focus on improving efficiency across government. Federal telework numbers are now inline with the private sector, and federal employment is shrinking while critical sectors throughout the economy are seeing growth. This trend will continue while agencies right-size their workforce and eliminate wasteful contracts, which will save Americans’ tax dollars and help them keep more of their hard-earned money to further stimulate the economy," she noted.
Chavez-DeRemer expressed optimism about the ongoing economic response to the administrative policies. "Overall, the economy is already responding positively to President Trump’s America First agenda. Moving forward, the Labor Department will continue fighting to support workers, including those entering the job market, to set up all hardworking Americans with an opportunity to achieve the American Dream."
