United States Senator Elizabeth Warren, serving as the Ranking Member of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee, has issued a statement in response to the February 2025 Jobs Report. The report, according to Warren, fails to address what she describes as "the growing consequences of the Trump Administration’s move-fast-and-break-things approach to our economy."
Warren highlights several concerns with the current economic situation. She notes that while today's numbers might seem stable on the surface, there are underlying issues such as slowing hiring rates and stagnant real incomes. Additionally, she points out that state and local job gains are diminishing, which she believes is leaving the labor market more vulnerable.
She attributes these economic challenges to various policies and actions taken by former President Donald Trump and others. Specifically, she criticizes Trump's trade wars and what she calls Elon Musk's attack on government programs. Furthermore, she expresses concern over Congressional Republicans' plans for additional tax cuts for billionaires.
According to Warren, these factors combined will have detrimental effects on families across the United States.
