RNC STATEMENT ON DISASTROUS SEPTEMBER JOBS REPORT
WASHINGTON D.C. - Today, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel released the following statement on the September jobs report:
"Joe Biden's Build Back Broke agenda continues to hurt American workers, drive up the cost of everyday goods, and crush small businesses. The latest jobs report, creating 300,000 fewer jobs than expected, proves that trillions more in reckless spending and higher taxes will only further squander the economic recovery and leave working families behind. Americans cannot afford Biden’s disastrous Build Back Broke agenda.”
Quick Takeaways:
- The economy added just 194,000 jobs in September, less than half the jobs economists had predicted.
- This is the second month in a row the economy has added far fewer jobs than expected.
- Women lost 26,000 jobs in September.
- The labor force participation rate fell in September even though this is a time when millions of Americans want to return to work.
- While Biden is failing to create jobs, Republican-led states are leading the economic recovery.
- 16 of the top 20 states for recovering jobs from the pandemic are led by Republican governors.
