Neal Statement on November 2025 Jobs Report

WASHINGTON, DC— Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Richard E. Neal (D-MA) released the following statement after the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released the overdue November 2025 jobs report:

“Almost a year in control of every lever, and Republicans still have nothing to show for it. BLS said it themselves: since President Trump flexed his ‘Liberation Day’ back in April, the economy has been liberated from job growth as hiring barely moves. For nine months, manufacturing is down and inflation is up, with the unemployment rate at its highest in four years. Where we are right now is a result of a deliberate choice by Republicans and Donald Trump to exhaust every bit of their legislative might cutting taxes for billionaires and bludgeoning everyone else with higher costs and fewer choices. 

“Republicans found the muscle to greenlight all this pain but can’t figure out how to lower costs for people. Choosing now to duct tape worn ideas from the past while the clock blinks red isn’t a solution. The only path for families to get relief is if four Republicans do the right thing, sign onto Leader Jeffries’s discharge petition, and extend the enhanced ACA credits for three years. The financial stability and health of tens of millions of people is teetering right now. But for Republicans, there’s no pain for families too severe, no tax cut for the wealthy too big, and no line the President can cross that they won’t excuse— and the people know it.”
