LEADER JEFFRIES STATEMENT ON THE FEBRUARY JOBS REPORT

Statement

Date: March 8, 2024
Location: WASHINGTON, DC
Issues: Health Insurance Economy and Fiscal

"Today’s February jobs report shows that we continue to make progress toward a healthy economy for hardworking American taxpayers. Under the Biden-Harris administration, wages are up, unemployment is at historic lows and more than 15 million jobs have been created. The President’s economic plan is working and our economy continues to shatter expectations.

President Biden and House Democrats are putting everyday Americans first to lower costs, create better-paying jobs and grow the middle class. Donald Trump and his extreme MAGA Republicans are trying to cut Social Security and Medicare, repeal the Affordable Care Act and give new tax breaks to billionaires. As President Biden emphasized last night, there is a clear contrast between Democrats and extreme MAGA Republicans. President Biden and House Democrats are working to move America forward while Donald Trump and Republicans are trying to turn back the clock."
