Boyle Statement on February 2026 Jobs Report

WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Congressman Brendan F. Boyle (PA-02), Ranking Member of the House Budget Committee, released the following statement after the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that nonfarm payroll employment decreased by 92,000 jobs in February:

“Month after month, the data shows Donald Trump’s economy is failing American families. The job market is weakening, costs remain high, and Trump’s illegal tariff taxes continue to hurt businesses and workers.

Trump and his allies in Congress know their agenda isn’t working. Instead of helping working families, they are pushing more tariff taxes and more tax breaks for billionaires. It is clear Republicans in Washington simply do not care about working families.”
