Today’s Jobs Report Shows Americans Keep Getting A Massive Pay Cut Because Of Bidenflation  


THE WORST JOBS REPORT OF THE YEAR

WORKERS ARE LEFT BEHIND IN BIDEN AND DEMOCRATS’ ECONOMY

  • For the third month in a row, the labor force participation rate fell at a time when it should be expanding.
  • The number of long-term unemployed Americans and the number of Americans working part-time for economic reasons both increased in November.
  • The employment rate among workers in their prime working years (ages 25-54) has now fallen for the third straight month.
  • Biden’s policies are creating a worker shortage at a time when many Americans are desperate to get back to work.

AMERICANS ARE POORER TODAY THAN WHEN BIDEN TOOK OFFICE

UNDER BIDEN, STRUGGLING AMERICANS ARE FORCED TO TAKE ON MORE DEBT, REDUCE SAVINGS

  • Inflation is placing more and more Americans in financial jeopardy, with the U.S. savings rate now at a 17-year low.
  • With rising prices forcing millions to make tough choices, 75 percent of Americans are afraid Bidenflation will have a negative impact on their retirement plans.
    • 54 percent of Americans report stopping or reducing their retirement savings altogether because of higher prices and 43 percent report drawing money out of their retirement accounts to pay for daily expenses.
  • Households across the country have increased debt at the fastest pace in 15 years due to hefty increases in credit card usage and mortgage balances.
    • Overall, credit card balances jumped 15 percent in the third quarter of 2022, notching the largest year-over-year increase in more than 20 years.
  • 60 percent of workers report living paycheck-to-paycheck – just shy of the historic high of 64 percent.
  • Congress’ Joint Economic Committee estimates Bidenflation cost the average American family $753 in October.

DEMOCRATS’ RESPONSE TO THE CRISIS THEY CREATED: MORE INFLATIONARY SPENDING

REPUBLICAN-LED STATES ARE DRIVING JOB GROWTH

  • Biden deserves no credit for jobs that have been created – he paid Americans not to work for months and stifled economic growth.
  • Republican-led states are the ones creating jobs and leading the economic recovery.
    • Through October, nine of the top 10 states for jobs recovered since the coronavirus pandemic began are led by Republican governors, and all 10 states have Republican-controlled legislatures.
    • Out of the top 15 states with the lowest unemployment rates, 13 are led by Republican governors and 12 have Republican-controlled legislatures.
