the state of Pennsylvania. First time in decades. Decades. We've
reversed it. And 33,000 mining jobs have been added since my
inauguration."

On June 1 he claimed that there had been "more than 1 million private sector jobs" created since he took office. His chief economic adviser Gary Cohn explained he was using an estimate from payroll service ADP, which said 1.2 million jobs were added from January through May.
