Strong June Jobs Numbers: President Has Some Room to Maneuver in China Trade Talks

Washington, D.C. – The U.S. manufacturing sector gained 17,000 jobs in June. Last month's strong rise in factory jobs follows four months of little change.

Alliance for American Manufacturing President Scott Paul said:

"The jobs numbers show that the president still has some room to maneuver on the China trade talks. The question is: Will he get a good deal for American workers, or will he continue to kick the can down the road, as past presidents have?"
