Ranking Member Mike Lee on September Jobs Report
WASHINGTON—Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), Ranking Member of the Joint Economic Committee, made the following statement on this morning’s jobs report issued by the U.S. Department of Labor:
WASHINGTON—Prices today are rising at their fastest pace in decades and American concern about inflation is growing.

WASHINGTON—The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted new and longstanding labor market frictions that are keeping Americans from returning to work. Occupational licensing regimes are particularly harmful and keep American workers on the sidelines.
