What happened

The White House press secretary, in a Labor Day 2025 message, said President Trump fights and delivers for the American worker every day and has put American workers at the center of national trade policy, according to the White House video. She said that for decades, globalists hollowed out factories and towns by shipping jobs overseas and importing low-wage migrants to replace American workers, and that under Trump this is over, as stated in her remarks.

The press secretary said Trump has brought in nearly $10 trillion in new private and foreign investments so businesses can create high-paying jobs in America, and that since he took office the economy has added more than half a million new jobs, all driven by private-sector growth and, she said, all employment gains going to native-born Americans, according to the video. She said wages for blue-collar workers are rising at the fastest rate in 60 years and the average worker has seen a $500 wage increase this year, as stated in her remarks.

She also credited the tax law’s provisions — no tax on tips, no tax on overtime and no tax on Social Security — and cited a Tax Foundation analysis that the average taxpayer will see a tax cut of nearly $4,000, according to the White House video.

Why it matters

The Labor Day message is the White House’s compact economic scorecard — investment pledges, job counts, blue-collar wages and the average tax cut — stated in one place for the holiday.
