JOBS REPORT DISASTER: GOP Senators Bash Weak Jobs Report, Biden’s Talk Of ‘Progress’

The Biden Administration is paying people not to work. In addition, the Biden Administration is mandating vaccines, which has caused thousands of Americans to lose their jobs. Naturally the America’s job report for September was a disaster. Expect more reports like this in the months ahead, as the Biden Administration is turning America into a welfare state. Biden’s approval ratings are now at record lows of 38 percent.

Republican senators, including possible presidential hopefuls, have blasted the latest disappointing jobs report, as well as President Biden’s efforts to portray the shortage as part of “progress.”

The September jobs report showed the economy adding 194,000 jobs – well short of the 500,000 new jobs expected. Republicans have largely targeted the double track of benefits for the unemployed and various mandates that restrict eligibility for some jobs.

No one spared criticism for Biden or his policies, with Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., saying the administration “has been throwing a wet blanket over job creators.”

Chairman of the Senate Republican Conference Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., told FOX Business that “The Biden economy is failing Americans who want to get back to work and put the virus behind them.”

“President Biden was dealt a winning hand with three safe and effective vaccines and he’s blown it,” Barrasso argued. “America’s economic recovery is being paralyzed by Joe Biden’s big spending, high taxing, and socialist policies.”

“The months of disappointing jobs reports are a direct result of President Biden’s failed policies,” Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., told FOX Business. “This administration’s plan of paying people not to work and burdensome mandates has crippled our economy at a time when middle-class Americans are already struggling to afford basic necessities due to inflation.”

Biden claimed that the U.S. has made “consistent and steady progress,” with the unemployment below 5% for the first time since he took office. He touted findings from the Labor Department that said the number of layoffs and job reductions “is the lowest in this country since 1997.”

However, Republicans have not accepted Biden’s side of the story. Ranking Member of the Senate Joint Economic Committee Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, noted that jobs are currently 5 million short of pre-pandemic levels.

Sen. Rick Scott, R-FL, proclaimed that “Joe Biden and Democrats in Washington are pushing America off a cliff.
