WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump said on June 5 that the economy would rebound very quickly as the U.S. labor market made a stunning record surge in May, “smashing” market expectations.

“It’s a very big day for our country, an affirmation of all the work we’ve been doing really for 3.5 years,” Trump said during a press conference at the White House.
