joining me, stephen moore, cnn senior economics analyst, former trump adviser and ken rogoff, professor and public policy at harvard, chief economist at the international monetary fund. gentlemen, good morning to you. stephen, let me start with these numbers. the president said on several occasions that he inherited a mess from the obama administration but let's look at the last three years of job growth during the obama administration. in 2016, more than two million jobs. more than 2.6 million in 2015, the year before nearly three million jobs. is a million jobs in six months turning things around or is he just keeping pace with 2016 numbers here? >> well, this was a blockbuster jobs report. there's no question about it. we not only saw a lot of new jobs created, we saw jobs almost throughout the economy in terms of different sectors of the economy including manufacturing and food services and business services. it was a great -- the other thing that was really positive is about this report is we finally saw a little bit of wage growth. i would make the case to you yeah, we had job gro
