President Donald Trump frequently touts an unemployment rate that continues to fall.

Though Trump credits himself for the low numbers, the trend began under former President Barack Obama and has steadily continued for over 70 months.

But according to a report from Challenger, Gary & Christmas—the oldest outplacement and career firm in the United States—job cuts are at their highest for a first quarter in 10 years, with cuts reaching 190,410, soaring by 35% from the same time one year ago.
