Trump Campaign Slams Jobs Report: Admin 'Built Back Broke'

By    |   Friday, 04 October 2024 06:15 PM EDT

Former President Donald Trump's campaign on Friday slammed the September jobs report, calling Vice President Kamala Harris a liar who has "destroyed the livelihoods of working-class Americans who are paying 20% more for everything thanks to her tax-and-spend policies."

"Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have built back broke, losing 34,000 manufacturing jobs in just the past two months as foreign countries benefit from Harris' weak economic policies, and Harris' open border policies have destroyed 825,000 jobs for native-born Americans while 1.2 million foreign-born workers gained employment," Trump national press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement to Newsmax.

"Harris already lied about creating 818,000 jobs and has destroyed the livelihoods of working-class Americans who are paying 20% more for everything thanks to her tax-and-spend policies, but President Trump has a plan to make America the manufacturing superpower of world and protect American jobs here at home."

In another email, titled "Foreign-Born Workers Thrive In Kamala's Economy. American Citizens? Not So Much," Jake Schneider, rapid response director for the Trump campaign, wrote:

  • "825,000 native-born Americans LOST employment over the past year — while 1.2 million foreign-born workers GAINED employment."
  • "Kamala killed another 7,000 manufacturing jobs last month — meaning at least 34,000 manufacturing jobs have been lost over the past two months alone and manufacturing jobs have been shed in three of the past four months. There are 37,000 fewer manufacturing workers than last September."
  • "9,000 transportation and warehousing jobs were lost last month."
  • "There are now 6.8 million Americans who are unemployed — up from 6.3 million one year ago — as labor force participation remains far below pre-pandemic levels."
  • "The number of long-term unemployed Americans shot up by 97,000 last month."
  • "Over the last 12 months, 555,000 more Americans took on part-time work for economic reasons."
  • "There are 502,000 fewer private industry workers and 696,000 more government workers than one year ago."
