Private Sector Job Growth Proves Trump’s Economy Is Real — and Built for Americans

The Trump economy is delivering results where it matters: real jobs for hardworking Americans. According to the White House, private sector employment is powering the nation’s labor market recovery, with millions of native-born workers entering the workforce and capturing the lion’s share of new opportunities.

In 2025 alone, 2.7 million native-born Americans gained jobs, while 972,000 foreign-born workers saw employment decline. That means American citizens are filling real jobs — not being left behind.

Here’s what the most recent White House report highlights:

• American jobs growing where it counts: The private sector is the engine of U.S. job creation — adding more than enough positions for native-born workers to join the labor force in droves.

• Construction jobs rising: Over the past three months, construction employment jumped by 52,000, proving that Trump’s focus on infrastructure and American industry isn’t just talk.

• Labor force participation increasing: More Americans are choosing to work — a sign of confidence in the economy and Trump’s pro-growth agenda.

Under the previous Democrat-led economic policies, job growth often skewed toward government or government-adjacent positions and left everyday workers in the dust. In 2025, 100% of job growth has come from private sector sources — the arena that truly drives prosperity.

Alongside job gains, Trump’s America-First policies continue to push businesses to invest domestically and hire locally, reversing decades of outsourced growth and reliance on foreign labor.

Nevada’s economy — like the nation’s — thrives when private sector jobs are created. Tourism, manufacturing, construction, technology, and energy all benefit when residents are working and spending. Trump’s emphasis on onshoring industry, cutting harmful regulations, and incentivizing private hiring helps ensure local communities reap the rewards first.

Critics will cling to flat headline unemployment figures, but the truth is deeper: American workers are coming back into the labor force and finding jobs, and that trend tracks directly to Trump’s economic philosophy — less government, more opportunity. This isn’t theory. It’s happening in real time.
