On the recordJanuary 19, 2022
For a year, the Biden administration has struck out on every jobs report. If this were a baseball game, this administration would have been benched long ago. Economists predicted that 450,000 new jobs would be added in the month of December. But what was the result? A dismal 199,000 jobs were added, the worst report of Joe Biden's Presidency. Mr. Speaker, with these kinds of numbers, America's economy and workforce will never recover. No matter how this administration spins these failures, one thing is abundantly clear: You cannot swing, miss, and then claim you have hit a home run. ____________________
