The president is celebrating another drop in unemployment numbers for American veterans. The president took to Twitter Tuesday to say “veterans unemployment has reached an 18-year low.”
He added, it was “really good news for our vets and their families,” and those numbers should hopefully “soon be at an all-time low.”
Just announced that Veterans unemployment has reached an 18 year low, really good news for our Vets and their families. Will soon be an all time low! Do you think the media will report on this and all of the other great economic news?

This comes after unemployment rates for veterans fell to 3.5-percent overall in 2018.
The president also questioned if the media would even report on the numbers or ignore the progress his administration has had on the economy.
