Hern. \u201cWe\u2019re nearly 1 million jobs short of what the President promised with his American Rescue Plan at the start of the year. It\u2019s time for him to admit what we\u2019ve all known from the start \u2013 socialist policies don\u2019t work. They\u2019re not bringing jobs back; instead, they\u2019re causing the American people to suffer under record-high unemployment and unending inflation. Republicans stand ready to put proven pro-growth policies in place, I just hope it isn\u2019t too late.\u201d\n\nThe Bureau of Labor Statistics released its unemployment report for September showing only 194,000 jobs created. Including revisions, President Biden is falling short of jobs promised as part of the March American Rescue Plan stimulus by 944,000 jobs. Biden will need nearly 1.5 million jobs to close the gap next month. The unemployment rate fell slightly to 4.8%, and labor force participation remains stuck at 61.6 percent. This is still 1.7 percentage points lower than pre-pandemic level of 63.3 percent.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:24:51Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://hern.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=436"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9461569134145975, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
