"The first is possibly the most surprising or possibly most interesting thing going on, which is since January 2025, 90% of all jobs created under the second Trump administration have gone to women, of all non-farm payrolls jobs. That's a stunning fact. It's an interesting imbalance and in fact women now hold a majority of all non-farm payrolls jobs as they've done for a few months. It's an interesting fact on its own. It's a doubly interesting fact when you juxtapose it with the story of the economy that one hears from the administration. It's a story of hard hats and blokes and steel-toed boots and big, buffy fellas getting back to manufacturing, but that's not what's been happening at all."
