Today, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries released the following statement after the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that nonfarm payroll employment increased by 353,000 in January:

Today’s January jobs report showed that the American economy continues to improve. Under the Biden-Harris Administration, we have seen three straight years of job growth and record-low unemployment. Wages are up, inflation continues to fall and our economy is growing at a strong and stable pace. 

Because more must be done to lower costs and make life better for the American people, House Democrats are prioritizing hardworking taxpayers and growing the middle class. Meanwhile, extreme MAGA Republicans are engaging in political stunts and wasting time with sham impeachments and self-inflicted chaos. Democrats will continue to put people over politics and remain laser-focused on growing the economy from the middle out and the bottom up and delivering for everyday Americans.
