America’s manufacturing sector is roaring back under President Donald Trump, reversing the steep job losses of the Biden era. February’s jobs report shows a surge in auto industry hiring, a major turnaround from Biden’s final year in office. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt credited Trump’s pro-growth policies, declaring, “The American economy is soaring back to greatness.”
America’s manufacturing sector is making a swift comeback under President Donald Trump, with February’s jobs report showing significant growth in the industry. The sharp turnaround follows a year of manufacturing decline under Joe Biden, who oversaw the loss of 111,000 jobs in the sector.
The auto industry has been a major driver of this resurgence, adding nearly 9,000 jobs in February—the most in over a year. This growth stands in stark contrast to 2023 when the sector shed tens of thousands of jobs under Biden’s economic policies. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt credited Trump’s leadership, stating, “The American economy is soaring back to greatness after the economic calamity left by Joe Biden.”
Economic confidence is also on the rise. S&P Global’s U.S. manufacturing survey reached its highest level since mid-2022, while the Manufacturing ISM Report on Business entered expansion territory after more than two years of contraction. These indicators suggest businesses are ramping up production, hiring workers, and responding favorably to Trump’s economic agenda.
With private sector growth leading the way and key economic indicators showing strength, the Trump Administration is setting the stage for continued economic momentum. As White House put it, “President Trump is just getting started.”
