This week’s jobless claims are the latest sign that President Biden and Democrats’ economic plan is working -– no thanks to Republicans
PENNSYLVANIA — Pennsylvania Democratic Chairwoman Nancy Patton Mills released the following statement after the U.S. Department of Labor announced that weekly jobless claims plunged to 199,000, the lowest level in more than 50 years. The claims fell more than 71,000 from last week, marking the eighth straight week of declines:
“Today’s job report is further evidence that President Biden and Democrats’ economic plan to build back better from the bottom up and the middle out is working. Millions of Americans are getting back to work, and working families right here in Pennsylvania are seeing the results — no thanks to Republicans who tried to stand in the way. While we have made historic progress, we must pass the Build Back Better Act to invest in America’s future and ensure we are well-positioned to win the 21st century.”
