With Pres. Biden’s leadership and bold vision to #BuildBackBetter from covid, Democrats will continue to deliver on an agenda that lifts America's working families.

House Democrats are committed to creating jobs and lowering costs on child care, prescription drugs and education.

We have been adding an average of 750k jobs per month for the last 3 months. Total job creation during my presidency is nearly double that of any previous president.

The Biden plan is working. We are getting results.

Joe Biden created more jobs last month than Trump did in FOUR YEARS!

Jobs Report Disaster
Details are even more disappointing.
Black unemployment rate surged to 8.8% from 8.2%. This would be top story/take if Trump were in office but won't be mentioned anywhere today (Powell will take note).

NOT SHOCKING 235000 jobs added in August versus 728000 expected. Lesson - if you pay people to STAY HOME and cover their rent…wait for it..they won’t be incentivized to work.

In 1975, women of Iceland went on strike for equal rights. 90% of women walked off their jobs & homes, shutting down the entire country. The men could barely cope. Five years later, Iceland elected first female President. Now Iceland has the highest gender equality in the world.

August Jobs Report:
+ 235,000 (economist forecasts: 725,000)

That is what one would call a big, big miss.

Unemployment rate: 5.2%
