JEC Chairman Heinrich on August Jobs Report: “While Republicans work to make their Wall Street friends richer, Democrats are delivering results for working people.”
"Democrats have delivered 43 months of consistent job growth and created nearly 16 million new jobs. That’s more than double the job creation under the Trump administration before March 2020."

Latest Economic Data
Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 187,000 in August, and the unemployment rate rose to 3.8 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today.
Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 3.0 percent in the second quarter of 2024, according to the "second" estimate.
The latest data released by the Department of Labor show that the number of initial unemployment claims fell to 192,000 for the week ending March 11, down 20,000 from the prior week. The four-week moving average, which smooths week-to-week volatility in the data, is 196,500, down 76% since President Biden took office.
