The U.S. Department of Labor published a statement praising President Donald Trump, describing him as “the President of the American Worker” and crediting his administration with policies aimed at benefiting U.S. workers. The message was shared through the department’s official social media account.
In the post, the department said the administration has focused on measures such as eliminating taxes on tips and overtime, expanding apprenticeships, reducing regulations on small businesses, and supporting skilled trades. It also highlighted what it described as gains in blue-collar wages and job growth.
The Labor Department’s message listed initiatives including expanded Pell Grants for skilled trades, increased access to apprenticeships, and policies encouraging domestic manufacturing under a “Made in America” framework. The department framed these efforts as part of a broader economic strategy.
The post also cited economic growth, retirement investment access through 401(k) plans, and trade policies it said protect American jobs. No new data were released alongside the statement to independently verify the claims.
Labor economists note that assessments of worker outcomes typically depend on multiple indicators, including wage growth, employment rates, inflation, and productivity, which can vary over time and across sectors.
The White House has frequently emphasized worker-focused messaging as part of its economic narrative. The Labor Department’s post reflects the administration’s position and policy priorities rather than an independent analysis.
