BRIAN BRENBERG (FOX BUSINESS HOST): I'm surprised by this. Everyone coming into this number thought we're going to have a big jobs number because we saw a big one from ADP earlier in the week. It came in low, but even more than that, previous months get revised down. That's been happening a lot lately, by the way. So you put that together, now this is still a strong number relative to where people thought we'd be at this point, but it's clearly trending down. So you are seeing some signs of cooling in the labor market.

And that's important, because the president's going to get out today and tout his 12 million, 13 million jobs. I got to tell you, that's not telling the whole story right now. A lot is filling in from the pandemic. The real job gains have been much more modest than that. In fact, by some measures, we're still a million to 2 million jobs below where we should be right now, because so many people are sitting on the sidelines, they're not participating in the economy.

KAYLEIGH MCENANY (FOX HOST): And that's just it. There's a difference between a job recovered after a pandemic and one created. Another fact I imagine we won't hear from President Biden is 8 in 10 of the highest job-creating states post-pandemic are run by Republican governors.
