With only +29,000 jobs & unemployment at 4.2%, the September jobs report does little to dispel the uncertainty Americans feel toward the economy. Trump's economic policies continue to push working families farther away from the American dream, & it's more clear than ever that we must switch course.

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) released the following statement on the September jobs report:

The law is clear: you cannot use taxpayer dollars for political advertisements. Trump's ad is an egregious and utterly illegal misuse of Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars. This ad must immediately be taken off the air, and those responsible must be appropriately reprimanded for this violation.

AbilityOne has provided job opportunities for thousands of Americans with disabilities, but its' legal framework hasn’t been updated in 50+ years. That's why I'm proud to join Rep. Sessions to introduce the APIA, a bipartisan consensus bill to modernize AbilityOne and preserve its critical mission.
