                       GREAT FEBRUARY JOBS REPORT

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, in the February jobs 
report, job numbers remain strong. Jeff Cox with CNBC wrote an article 
titled: ``Job Growth Smashes Expectations for February As Unemployment 
Falls Back to 3.5 Percent.'' This title reflects the 273,000 jobs 
created in February, smashing the expectation of 175,000 additions.
  The article also said: ``The Labor Department reported . . . that the 
U.S. economy added 273,000 new jobs during the month, while the 
unemployment rate was 3.5 percent, matching its lowest level in more 
than 50 years.''
  I am grateful that for African Americans, Hispanics, and Asian 
Americans there is record low unemployment with record opportunities to 
achieve jobs. President Trump is continuing his record of promises 
made, promises kept. This is clear with the release of the February 
report of 273,000 more jobs.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
