So when President Trump looked at the tradeoffs of going into Iran right now,
He knew his sort of beautiful record of just constantly pushing down energy prices, gasoline headline prices as well.
But Iran has roughly 1,000 pounds of uranium enriched to 60%, massively higher than you ever need for any commercial power production.
It's actually quite close to weapons-grade uranium.
So they just get to this threshold where they're not far away from nuclear bombs.
President Trump was absolutely unwilling to hand the next administration a nuclear arm.
More than triple, almost quadruple what the economists thought this would be.
In fact, it's beating the high end of the expectations for where jobs were.
Now, when you look inside the numbers, there's some positive things that are in there, like when you look at average hourly wages.
Wages increased 3.5 percent over the past 12 months.
This outpaces inflation, and that means that as prices rise, American wages rise faster, which is not something that happened under the last administration policy.
We also saw a turnaround here.
Since President Trump took office, manufacturing jobs are down 91,000 positions.
But in the month of March, manufacturing added 15,000 jobs.
The labor secretary says this is not by accident.
When you look inside the numbers here, one thing really stands out.
Again, the average hourly wage is rising faster than inflation, up 3.5% over the past 12 months.
That means, in general, people are making more money than the rise in prices Americans are getting ahead, which was not the case under the last administration.
Also, when you look at where the jobs are, it reveals one reason for the boom.
A strike among doctor office workers ended, and that shows up in health care totals.
