LEADER JEFFRIES STATEMENT ON THE DECEMBER JOBS REPORT

Statement

Date: Jan. 5, 2024
Location: Brooklyn, NY
Issues: Employment and Affirmative Action Economy and Fiscal

"The December jobs report exceeded expectations, ending another year of strong and unprecedented job growth under the Biden-Harris Administration. Over the past three years, President Biden has led a historic economic recovery. Unemployment remains low, job creation continues to expand from pre-pandemic levels and our economic growth has increased at the highest rate in decades.

Sadly, extreme MAGA Republicans are putting this recovery and the lives and livelihoods of everyday Americans at risk, wasting time playing dangerous political games and threatening a government shutdown. Democrats will continue to put people over politics to build on the remarkable progress of the last three years, lowering costs, growing the middle class and creating more good-paying jobs."
