Workforce Suffers Under Republican Policies

We’re being crushed by Republican policies: lost jobs, more than 2 million people leaving the workforce, and the slowest wage growth in five years.

“A report Friday from the Labor Department shows that employers cut 23,000 jobs last month, and job gains for May and June were revised sharply lower.

The unemployment rate dipped to 4.1%, but only because more than 260,000 people dropped out of the workforce.

It was the second month in a row that the monthly jobs tally came in weaker than forecasters had expected.”
