Did Ivanka create 'millions of jobs'?

Updated 4:50 PM ET, Mon February 25, 2019

Washington (CNN) During an address to US governors Monday .. Trump .. claimed that his daughter Ivanka had "created millions of jobs" ...

In July of last year, Trump signed an executive order creating the National Council for the American Worker, co-chaired by Ivanka Trump and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross. One of the council's priorities is asking companies across the US to sign the Pledge to America's Workers ...

Two hundred companies have agreed to the pledge, with each providing different numbers of training opportunities ...

... it's inaccurate to suggest that the number of training opportunities pledged are "jobs." The timeline for these opportunities spans five years. And many of them match existing company goals and numbers.

It's simply not true that Ivanka Trump has "created millions of jobs" ...
