<html> <blockquote>For years, Trump attacked the Bureau of Labor Statistics' reports on the US labor market, but now that he is in charge he's singing a different tune. </blockquote> <blockquote> Here's what Trump said at a meeting with business leaders at the White House on Wednesday:</blockquote> <blockquote> "And when we got <strong>those</strong> great reports, I kept saying, you know, those numbers — whether it's 4.2, 4.3 — I said, for a long time they don’t matter. But now I accept those numbers very proudly. I say they do matter. But we're doing very well with the jobs and the jobs reports, and we're doing very well with companies. We're really moving along." </blockquote> <p><img src="http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/582f0f03e02ba71b008b51bb-1393/gettyimages-501525502.jpg" width="1393" height="1045"/></p> <blockquote> The unemployment rate was 4.4% as of the June jobs report, down from 4.7% when Trump took office and 4.6% the month he won the election. </blockquote> <p> http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-accepts-jobs-report-unemployment-number-after-calling-hoax-2017-7</p> </html>
