Senator Warren Statement on August 2025 Jobs Report

Washington, DC – Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Ranking Member of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee released the following statement:

“Today’s disastrous jobs report makes it increasingly clear that President Trump’s economic agenda is wrecking the labor market. There are now more unemployed people than job openings in the United States for the first time since the pandemic, Trump’s immigration policies are shrinking the workforce, and his chaotic tariffs are slowing down hiring. I’ve long been calling for the Fed to cut interest rates, but the Fed has made clear that Donald Trump’s chaos has stood in the way. If Trump won’t reverse his harmful policies, the Fed should act to protect American jobs.”
