Stating the obvious: this one doesn't count towards the Accountability Score.

What they posted

Yesterday's employment report was strong. Payrolls increased by 162,000, household employment grew more than 500,000, and the average workweek increased. The economy was cranking in August. Many will see more inflation and Fed tightening. I see something bigger. Headline https://t.co/tVd0jkfwVi

Why it's Truth

BLS official data and contemporaneous reporting from Reuters, CBS News, and others confirm the average workweek rose 0.1 hour to 34.4 hours in the August 2026 report.
