WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, following the release of the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ April jobs report showed that year over year, part-time employment is up 1.05 million jobs in April, Senator Rick Scott released the following statement along with a weekly update on his actions to address America’s debt crisis and rising inflation. Since President Biden took office, his so-called “Bidenomics” agenda has bankrupted American families and forced some into taking on multiple jobs to afford basic necessities like gas, rent and groceries.

Senator Rick Scott said, “President Biden's continued lies about the U.S. job market are not just misleading the American people, but dangerous. The hardworking American public is not better off under the failed 'Bidenomics' agenda. Every Floridian I talk with confirms that truth. Full-time jobs have decreased over the year, while part-time has grown by over a million… I wouldn’t call that a success. More people are working multiple jobs and still struggling to get by because of the double punch of Biden's bad job market and inflation that's up more than 19% since Biden took office. The sooner Biden admits his failures and reverses course, the better. I'm fighting every day to get that done in the Senate, but Biden and Democrats in Washington have made clear through their actions that nothing will change until we have a new president that truly fights for American workers.”

Since being elected to the U.S. Senate, Senator Scott has repeatedly urged action to address America’s debt crisis and the harmful effects of inflation. Click HERE for a comprehensive list of his statements and actions on this urgent issue and HERE for Senator Scott’s Quarterly Economic Snapshot.
