WASHINGTON — Today, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) released the following statement in response to the April jobs report.

“I’m glad to see more Americans found jobs and their paychecks grew last month. But there are still more than 8 million people looking for work, and there’s a lot we need to do to turn one strong hiring month into consistent, robust job creation. That’s why the Ways and Means Committee is pursuing reforms to open up markets to American job creators and fix our broken tax code, so we can create more opportunity for everyone in our country.”
