A federal jobs report released on Friday showed the US economy added a mere 22,000 jobs in August in yet another signal of weakness in the US labor market.
"Donald Trump inherited an economy built on years of steady job growth," Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-Pa.), ranking member of the House Budget Committee, said in response. "In just seven months, he's managed to screw it up—just like he's screwed up everything else in his life. Now, working families are getting squeezed from every direction: higher prices, Republicans' Big Ugly Law ripping health care away from millions, and a job market that's slowing down."
