Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi praised Joe Biden’s economic policies on social media Friday; saying the Democratic agenda is creating “steady growth” for working Americans.

 

The Speaker released the following statement:

San Francisco – Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement on the May jobs report, which showed that the U.S. created 390,000 jobs last month:

“May’s jobs report shows that Democrats’ economic plan continues to power healthy job gains as our economy transitions from recovery to strong, steady growth.  With the help of our Rescue Plan, our nation has created more than eight million new jobs under the Biden Administration and slashed unemployment to nearly its pre-pandemic low.

“At the same time, Democrats are hard at work to bring down costs for families.  With our gas price gouging legislation, House Democrats voted to end Big Oil’s war profiteering and lower costs at the pump.  Our Majority is also advancing legislation to lower food costs in the grocery aisle by lowering input costs for farmers and cracking down on unfair practices by meatpacking conglomerates that hurt ranchers and consumers alike.  And the Congress will soon send to the President’s desk a bipartisan, bicameral inflation-fighting competitiveness package to make more goods in America, strengthen our supply chains and invest in our STEM workforce.

“Democrats will never relent in our fight for American families, with lower costs, bigger paychecks and more jobs.”
