October Jobs Report
October Jobs Report
- The October jobs report provides little consolation to the more than 4 million Americans who lost their job during the pandemic and have yet to get it back.
- There are still 7.4 million unemployed American workers, 1.7 million more than when the pandemic began.
- The unemployment rate didn’t drop for all Americans – in fact, the unemployment rates for Black and Asian Americans didn’t budge.
- The American workers who are returning to work are doing so spite of Joe Biden and Democrats’ policies, not because of them.
- Through September, 17 of the top 20 states for recovering jobs from the pandemic are led by Republican governors – Republican-led states are the ones creating jobs and leading the economic recovery.
- Just yesterday, Biden announced an unconstitutional vaccine mandate that threatens the jobs of millions of workers and promises to make the supply chain crisis even worse.
- One poll found that 7 in 10 unvaccinated workers would likely quit their jobs rather than adhere to the vaccine requirement.
- U.S. economic growth is falling short of expectations under Biden, having suffered a “sharp deceleration” in the third quarter.
- Now that Biden’s policy of paying Americans more not to work has expired, it’s no surprise more Americans are getting back to work.
- There continues to be a worker shortage at a time when Americans are desperate to get back to work.
- There are more than 10 million job openings that businesses are struggling to fill– a near record high.
- There more than 7 million unemployed Americans trying to find a job.
- Democrats don’t care about workers or the middle class – the largest part of the spending bill House Democrats are trying to pass today is a massive tax cut for the rich in blue states.
- Biden’s economic policies are continuing to squeeze hardworking families as we continue to see higher prices for groceries, gas, and goods.
- Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm was asked about Americans struggling with skyrocketing gas prices. Her response? “Ha ha ha, that is hilarious!” The American people deserve better – they are tired of liberal elites blaming others for their failed policies.
- Voters know Republicans are leading the way. Just this week, Virginia elected a Republican governor and voted to send a majority of Republicans to serve in the House of Delegates.
- The last thing the American people need is trillions of new taxes and wasteful spending – Congress must reject Biden’s radical agenda.
