Pelosi Statement on August Jobs Report

Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement on the August jobs report, which showed that the U.S. created 315,000 jobs last month:

"The August jobs numbers show that, under President Biden, America is continuing its strong and steady job growth. During the Biden Administration, our nation has powered record-setting job creation: helping millions of Americans get back to work, while empowering Americans to get off the sidelines and rejoin the workforce.

"This robust and ongoing jobs recovery was sparked by Democrats' American Rescue Plan and furthered by our Infrastructure Law. Now, we are building on this momentum to lower kitchen table costs and create more opportunities for our workers. Our CHIPS and Science Act will create good-paying new jobs as we reinvigorate American semiconductor manufacturing and technological innovation. Our Inflation Reduction Act is projected to deliver nine million new jobs in the clean energy industries of the future, while slashing prescription drug costs for seniors and energy bills for families.

"Every day, Democrats are putting People Over Politics: lower costs, better-paying jobs and safer communities for all of America's families."
