Wyden Statement on Weak May Jobs Report

Washington, D.C. — Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden, D-Ore., today issued the following statement on the May jobs report:

“It’s clear the job market is slowing amid all the economic chaos Trump is creating, and the worst thing he and Republicans could do right now is shred the safety net and spook markets further by adding trillions to the national debt. Trump was handed the strongest economy in the world, and without anybody around him who can control his worst impulses, he’s tearing it down.”
