A White House spokesperson said a recently released jobs report, despite showing tepid overall growth, is evidence that President Donald Trump's "reindustrialization agenda is working," according to the Guardian.
The spokesperson pointed specifically to manufacturing and factory job figures within the report as supporting evidence, the Guardian reported.
Top Democrats pushed back on that characterization, describing the report instead as proof of what they called "Trump's failing economic agenda," according to the same report.
The dueling interpretations come as both parties look ahead to the November midterm elections, with the jobs report expected to factor into broader debates over the administration's economic record. The Guardian's live coverage noted that many indicators of voter sentiment currently suggest Democrats are favored to retake control of the House of Representatives, and potentially the Senate.
Further details on the specific job figures cited by the White House, and the full text of Democratic criticism, were not included in the portion of the report available at the time of writing.
