Trump's first month in office brings employment boom: 298,000 new jobs in February

U.S. companies added a whopping 298,000 new jobs in February, beating economists' expectations by more than 100,000.

The report from ADP, a global human resources and payroll firm, provides the first hard economic numbers from Donald Trump's first full month as president.

Trump tweeted a self-congratulatory note, calling the number 'much more than expected!'

He also wrote Wednesday on Twitter about another similar measure, citing numbers from a new LinkedIn workforce report that showed strong job-adding numbers from January and February.

Yeah Nobama was in office 8 years and did nothing for jobs, black people or America. Only thing he did was set race relations back 50 years.
