NEW REPORT: Unemployment Up, Wages Down, and the Midterms are 28 Days Away

“The unemployment rate among Black workers jumped to 7 percent in September, up a full percentage point from August”

New data from the Department of Labor underscores just how disastrous Republicans’ economy is and how it’s making life more expensive for hardworking Americans:

Republicans’ failed leadership has already led to skyrocketing gas prices, soaring health care costs, and everything in between. Now, Americans are facing an increasingly fragile job market and worsening wage growth.

Enough is enough. 

DCCC Spokesperson Bridget Gonzalez:
“Americans of all backgrounds are united behind one concern: prices are too damn high. Republicans have spent two years doing everything they can to line the pockets of their billionaire donors, all on the backs of their constituents. Working families across the country are lining up to vote for representatives who will fight for them – not for the wealthy.”
