Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens Responds to Jobs Report: Pledges to Strengthen Michigan Manufacturing and Lower Costs

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released the latest jobs report, which contained serious warning signs about the state of the economy, including negative job growth and rising unemployment, as well as the loss of thousands of manufacturing jobs.

In response to the report's findings, Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens issued the following statement: 

“Today's weak jobs report is another reminder of the damage caused by Donald Trump’s reckless economic policies and chaotic tariffs. Under his watch, unemployment is rising, manufacturing jobs are dwindling, and Michigan families are being squeezed by higher costs. 

“In Michigan, we know that a strong economy is built on manufacturing, innovation, and a skilled workforce – not on chaos or trade wars that raise costs for Michiganders and put paychecks at risk. I’ll keep fighting to secure our supply chains, create good-paying jobs, and lower costs for the hard-working families across our state.”
