Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Richard E. Neal (D-MA) released the following statement on the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) November 2024 jobs report:
“With another expectation-beating month of job growth, the U.S. economy proves once again its strength and resilience in life’s twists and turns. Let me say it plainly: President Biden, Vice President Harris, Congressional Democrats, and the American people are to thank. Investing directly in workers and their families continues to pay off, and we remain the envy of the world.
“The bar is high, and there’s still much more to do in bringing down costs and unlocking opportunity, which only makes the risk of not getting it right even higher. At least 11 billionaires are poised to oversee programs that seniors, children, and people grappling with illness and disability rely on. Slashing the corporate rate even further and raising the cost of everything money can buy with a national sales tax won’t be the answer to the people’s prayers. We have the blueprint for growth and solutions, not personal enrichment and cash grabs, and we can work together to deliver.”
