Issues Weekly Update on Failing Biden-Harris Economy

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, following the release of the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ October jobs report showing that over 900,000 full-time jobs were lost over the year, Senator Rick Scott released the following statement. The October report shows that year over year, part-time work has increased by nearly 1.2 million jobs. Since Biden-Harris took office, 1.67 million more people have had to take on multiple jobs. That is a scary reality for many Americans and points to an unstable job market where folks are having to take on more work to make ends meet. Senator Scott also released a weekly update on his actions to address America’s debt crisis, rising inflation and failing economy caused by the Biden-Harris administration’s reckless and radical agenda.

Senator Rick Scott said, “Today’s report is a disturbing reality and shows the impacts of the disastrous Biden-Harris administration’s abysmal economic agenda and misplaced priorities. Nearly one million full-time jobs were lost. Over the past year, and the last month, more people are having to take on part-time jobs to get by. This report is showing the devastating reality of folks across the country and many are struggling. When I travel around Florida and talk to families, I hear heartbreaking stories about parents having to take on multiple jobs, folks losing their jobs, and having to go without just to scrape by. Growing up in public housing, I watched my parents work hard but still struggle to put food on the table. My mother worked multiple jobs just to make ends meet—and a lot of times, we went without. The Biden-Harris agenda is a total disaster for hardworking Americans, and I’m fighting like hell to stop it & make Washington work for Florida families.”

Since being elected to the U.S. Senate, Senator Scott has repeatedly urged action to address America’s debt crisis and the harmful effects of inflation. Click HERE for a comprehensive list of his statements and actions on this urgent issue and HERE for Senator Scott’s Quarterly Economic Snapshot.
