Boyle Statement on August 2025 Jobs Report

WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Pennsylvania Congressman Brendan F. Boyle, Ranking Member of the House Budget Committee, released the following statement after the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that nonfarm payroll employment increased by 22,000 jobs in August:

“Donald Trump inherited an economy built on years of steady job growth. In just seven months, he’s managed to screw it up — just like he’s screwed up everything else in his life. Now, working families are getting squeezed from every direction: higher prices, Republicans’ Big Ugly Law ripping health care away from millions, and a job market that’s slowing down.

When the facts don’t go his way, President Trump doesn’t fix the problem, he fires the messenger. Just last month, he axed a nonpartisan official for telling the truth about the numbers. Who will he blame this time?”
