BLS-based analyses cited by Just The News and The Daily Wire confirm women accounted for nearly all net U.S. payroll job gains since Trump's January 2025 inauguration, though the trend reflects sector-specific hiring patterns rather than a simple gender-driven boom.
Just The News and The Daily Wire both report an analysis (attributed to Mike Konczal of the Economic Security Project, using BLS Current Employment Statistics data) showing women's payroll employment rose about 765,000 since December 2024 while men's employment fell about 6,000, meaning women accounted for essentially all net job growth. The Daily Wire adds context that much of this growth came from female-heavy sectors like restaurants/bars and local government education, with the latter partly reflecting a seasonal reversal rather than new hiring, and notes manufacturing (male-dominated) also grew. This nuance about sectoral composition and seasonal effects is missing from Trump's brief claim, but the core statistic is accurately reflected in the sourced reporting.
