Trump Shares Jobs Data Ahead of Official Release

On Thursday night, President Donald Trump used social media to allude to figures from the upcoming nonfarm payrolls report, potentially breaching established federal guidelines regarding the disclosure of sensitive economic data. In a post on Truth Social at approximately 9 p.m., Trump suggested that private sector employment had grown by 654,000 throughout 2025—a figure that would encompass December's jobs numbers, which were set to be released on Friday. According to Office of Management and Budget regulations, executive branch members are not permitted to discuss such data before its official release and must wait at least 30 minutes after publication before making public statements.
