RNC STATEMENT ON BIDEN'S ECONOMY LEAVING AMERICANS BEHIND
WASHINGTON- Today, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel released the following statement on the January jobs report:
"Joe Biden’s economy is leaving Americans behind, and the January jobs report shows that there are hundreds of thousands less jobs than he promised. Hardworking Americans are facing historically high inflation, decreasing real wages, and spiking gas prices, but Joe Biden doesn’t care. Republican governors and legislatures will continue to reject Biden’s disastrous agenda and support American small businesses, families, and workers.”
Key Takeaways:
- Hundreds of thousands fewer jobs were created in 2021 than what Biden promised.
- Today, gas prices reached a new high under the Biden administration.
- Only one percent of Americans view the economy as “excellent” while 75 percent view the economy as “not so good” or “poor.”
- Republican-led states are the ones creating jobs and leading the economic recovery.
- Through December, 16 of the top 20 states for jobs recovered since the pandemic began are led by Republican governors.
- 16 of the top 20 states with the lowest unemployment rates are led by Republican governors.
- Wages aren’t keeping up with inflation, with real wages actually falling.
