RNC Statement on April Jobs Report

WASHINGTON – Today, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel released the following statement on the April jobs report:

"Joe Biden is leaving American workers and families behind, as higher prices on everything from gas to groceries are here to stay under his reckless agenda. Republican-led states are driving the economic comeback with more jobs created and lower unemployment despite the failures of Biden and the Democrats. Republican leadership delivers, unleashes prosperity, and lifts up all Americans."

Background:

• Overall wage growth remains tapered while inflation remains high, meaning workers are seeing a massive pay cut under Biden.
• 60 percent of workers report living paycheck-to-paycheck – including 73 percent of millennials – with more people picking up a side hustle to make ends meet.
• U.S. average gas prices currently sit at $3.56 per gallon which is more than $1.00 higher than when Biden became president.
