WASHINGTON – Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) released the following statement on the June Jobs Report:
“The jobs report released this morning shows the United States added another 206,000 jobs in June. We have now seen 41 months of consecutive job growth – an encouraging sign that reflects America’s remarkable economic strength. The total jobs created since President Biden took office in January 2021 has reached a historic 15.7 million, and unemployment remains near its record low at 4.1 percent. Earlier in June, we also received news that inflation has continued to go down, and Democrats remain laser-focused in our work to continue lowering Americans’ everyday costs.
“The continued strength of our historic economic recovery provides a sense of stability and hope at a time when Republicans and the conservative majority on the Supreme Court are casting doubt on our democracy’s future. Our economy’s success depends on our democracy’s integrity. Democrats are committed to preserving the principles enshrined in our Constitution – values we all celebrated on Independence Day this week – just as we are devoted to lowering costs, creating new jobs, and building safer communities by implementing the laws we passed last Congress.”
