• Labor Department revised 2025 job creation figures downward by nearly one million — The Labor Department released revised data for 2025 showing that nearly one million fewer jobs were created than originally reported. Four months previously described as job gains were revised into job losses. Overall, 2025 job creation was essentially flat when accounting for downward revisions. The administration had been touting January 2026 preliminary jobs numbers as positive, but the pattern of overly optimistic initial reports followed by significant downward revisions undermines confidence in current economic claims.
• White House issues fact sheet on January 2026 jobs report — The White House issued a fact sheet claiming that January 2026 job growth exceeded economist expectations, with 172,000 private sector jobs added and 42,000 government jobs shed, bringing unemployment to 4.3%. The document states that federal employment has declined to its lowest level since 1966 and that average weekly earnings rose 0.7% in January. It attributes these figures to President Trump's economic policies and characterizes the labor market under the previous administration as weaker than initially reported.
• DHS claims fewer than 14% of arrested immigrants had violent crime records — Documents from DHS itself show that fewer than 14% of the nearly 400,000 immigrants arrested in Trump's first year had either convictions or charges for violent crimes, with fewer than 2% either charged with or convicted of homicide or sexual assault. This contradicts the administration's claims that ICE is prioritizing removal of immigrants with violent crime records.
• White House issues fact sheet claiming inflation victory and real wage gains — The White House published a fact sheet asserting that President Trump has "defeated" inflation, citing a January 2026 Consumer Price Index report showing year-over-year inflation at 2.4% and claiming real average hourly earnings rose 1.2% over the past year, with cumulative real wage gains of $1,400 in Trump's first year. The document attributes price declines in beef, eggs, coffee, energy, and gasoline to Trump's policies and references drug pricing reforms and a "Great Healthcare Plan."
