Neal | N000015 | neal.house.gov | neal | https://neal.house.gov/category/press-releases/ | scraper | Springfield, MA Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Richard E. Neal (D-MA) released the following statement on the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) September 2024 jobs report: “In under four years, President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Congressional Democrats have changed the course of history. Another 254,000 jobs were created last month, beating expectations, and proving the resilience of our economy. Their leadership was instrumental in reopening the ports and securing a tentative agreement—no administration has had the backs of workers like this one. “Together, Democrats put people back to work at a record rate, lowered gas prices and stamped out inflation, raised wages and ushered in a new era for collective bargaining, all while proving the naysayers wrong. When critics sounded the alarm of a boogeyman recession and Republicans embraced a do-nothing agenda centered around chaos, conspiracies, and cuts, Democrats stayed the course and put the American worker first. The results speak volumes. “Trump will sacrifice all of this and more to give his own ilk another massive tax cut. We’ve come too far to let the delusion of trickle-down economics and danger of Project 2025 ruin our progress. We know what works to grow the economy and put money back into the pockets of working people. It starts with basic workplace supports like affordable child care and universal paid leave. Policy focused on tax relief and expanding access to health care for the middle class. Policy focused on people, not politics. That’s exactly how Ways and Means Democrats will unlock opportunity and continue delivering for our workers and families.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z |
