Jobs czar Ivanka Trump: ‘We’re making it happen’

Ivanka Trump, President Trump’s unofficial job czar, today heralded the new report that unemployment hit a 49-year low by cheering, “We’re making it happen.”

In a statement to Washington Secrets, the first daughter said, “Our policies continue to deliver more and better jobs for American workers.”
While others mined the report for how groups of Americans are benefiting in the economic surge, Trump has noted that there are now more job openings than those in unemployment lines.

The Labor Department reported that just 5.8 million are on unemployment. By comparison, there are over 7 million job openings.
“Driving inclusive economic growth, so all of our country’s hard working citizens can achieve the American dream, is our mission — and we’re making it happen,” she told us.
Ivanka Trump is the president’s adviser on job creation, economic empowerment, workforce development, and entrepreneurship. This week, at the Milken Institute Global Conference, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt called Ivanka Trump an “American hero” for her work on job creation.

In a tweet following the release, she also pointed to the record number of women working and other benefits to jobs growth.
“Happy Friday! In April,” she wrote, adding, “The U.S. added 263,000 JOBS, crushing market expectations! Unemployment rate fell to 3.6% = lowest rate since Dec 1969. Adult (20+) women unemployment rate fell to 3.1% = lowest since 1953. This is what winning for America looks like!”
