NEW: Jobs Are STILL Booming Under President Biden

MADISON, Wis. — Today, Democratic Party of Wisconsin Communications Director Joe Oslund released the following statement after the U.S. Department of Labor announced that the U.S. economy added 275,000 jobs in February, once again exceeding expectations:

“President Biden laid out his vision for the future of America last night, one in which everyone has a fair shot – and today’s jobs numbers are proof that he’s continuing to deliver real results for Wisconsinites as his agenda creates hundreds of thousands of new jobs each month, oversees rising wages, and delivers historically low unemployment – all while lowering costs. While Donald Trump made the ultra-wealthy and corporations richer, left office with the worst jobs record in modern American history, and decimated the economy for Wisconsin families, President Biden and Vice President Harris are building an economy that leaves no one behind. Wisconsinites see that contrast on display each and every day and that’s why they’re going to help send President Biden and Vice President Harris back to the White House to keep driving our great American comeback.”

President Biden and Vice President Harris continue to deliver in Wisconsin and across the nation where Trump failed:

  • President Biden’s policies have helped create nearly 15 million jobs, including over 169,000 jobs in Wisconsin. In stark contrast, Trump had the worst jobs record since the Great Depression.
     
  • Under President Biden, the national unemployment rate has remained under 4 percent for the longest stretch in half a century in part due to his administration’s historic investments that have created hundreds of thousands of manufacturing, construction, and engineering jobs. This all comes after Trump’s tax scam incentivized companies to ship American jobs overseas.
     
  • While Trump was in office, he gave billionaires and corporations millions of dollars in tax handouts and sold out Wisconsin families. President Biden is investing in the middle class and making sure billionaires and corporations finally pay their fair share in taxes.
