Only 22,000 jobs were created in the U.S. economy in August

The jobs report for August came out earlier this month, and it shows that job creation in this country is falling fast. There were only 22,000 jobs created in the U.S. economy in August.

Compare that to a year ago, when there were 142,000 jobs created in August of 2024.

The Hill: Unemployed workers outnumber available jobs

Economists projected about 75,000 jobs would be created in the month of August. 22,000 jobs created in the month of August are much lower than what even the economists had predicted.

The jobs report also shared a revision from the June and July reports. During that time, we actually experienced a 13,000 net job loss in our country.

Why is this happening? It is because the Trump administration's economic policies are failing. They are doing nothing to lower costs or help hardworking Americans across the country.

We are approaching our end-of-quarter deadline. Will you donate $3 to our campaign that believes in bringing and standing up for economic investments to the 2nd District that create good-paying jobs that support families?

More soon,

Rick
