Wednesday's stronger-than-expected jobs report could be a sign of the economic renaissance President Donald Trump promised, possibly in time to save Republican congressional majorities in November. But such a dramatic political comeback would require an equally significant turnaround in public perceptions of the economy — and that is where skepticism abounds. On the same day the latest jobs numbers were released, the payroll job count for 2025 was revised downward by 1 million. Trump used such downward revisions of jobs figures announced under former President Joe Biden to sow doubt about government statistics, sacking the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics for releasing what he called a "rigged" jobs report.

Over the past year, demand for healthcare workers has quietly propped up the labor market as other sectors reined in hiring or even shed jobs. On Wednesday, the full power of healthcare's role burst into full view, and marked a clear shift in a labor market now geared toward the hard, often physical, work of caring for America's aging population. Nearly all of the 130,000 new jobs added in January were healthcare jobs or positions related to healthcare. The construction and manufacturing sectors also took on new workers, while employers cut jobs in government, finance, information and transportation and warehousing. Healthcare is "way outperforming most of the rest of the economy," said Laura Ullrich, director of economic research at jobs website Indeed.

The most basic responsibility of an officer of the law is to obey the law. The police and federal agents have enormous powers. They can arrest people, forcibly enter their homes and commit violence in the government's name. If they violate the rules for using those powers, they can become abusers of the citizens they are entrusted to protect. The Department of Homeland Security under President Trump has followed this dark path. Too often over the past year, its behavior has been lawless.
