WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, following the release of the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ November jobs report showing that the unemployment rate increased to 4.2% and over 1.27 million full-time jobs were lost over the year, Senator Rick Scott released the following statement. The November report shows that year over year, part-time work has increased by nearly 577,000 jobs. The report also highlighted that this year more than 250,000 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 shines a light on the disturbing reality and impacts of the disastrous Biden-Harris administration’s economic agenda and misplaced priorities. The reactions from the mainstream media and Washington elites touting today’s report are exactly why the American people demanded change last month. Over the year, full-time jobs are down by 1.27 million, unemployment is up, and people are being forced to take on multiple jobs to make ends meet. The Biden-Harris agenda is a total disaster for hardworking Americans, and I’m fighting like hell to stop it and make Washington work for Florida families. Families are struggling under the Biden-Harris economy, but thank God we have someone like President Trump who can fix it.”

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.
