Wyden Statement on August Jobs Report, Bessent and Lutnick

Washington, D.C. — Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden, D-Ore., today issued the following statement on the terrible August jobs report:

"The job market has flatlined, and it’s clear the Trump economy is a loser for American workers. In addition to Kennedy, Trump ought to fire Bessent and Lutnick too before they drag the economy into a recession. None of these cranks have any idea what they're doing."
