Ways and Means Republican Leader Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX) issued the following statement on the March jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics:

“There’s little relief for workers in March’s job report as job creation slows and inflation continues to rise. Wages just can’t keep up with President Biden’s raging inflation, which is accelerating.

“Americans should brace for even higher prices ahead. And President Biden should come clean with the American people that his economy is in a worsening wage-price spiral that is leading us closer to a recession each month.

“Rather than fix the problem, Democrats are bizarrely sticking with Build Back Better tax hikes that will push prices on families even higher.”
