Issues Weekly Update on Failing Biden-Harris Economy<_o3a_p>
WASHINGTON, D.C.- Today, following the release of the Bureau of Labor Statistics' October jobs reportshowing that over 900,000 full-time jobs were lost over the year, Senator Rick Scott released the following statement. The October report shows that year over year, part-time work has increased by nearly 1.2 million jobs. Since Biden-Harris took office, 1.67 million more people have had to take on multiple jobs. That is a scary reality for many Americans and points to an unstable job market where folks are having to take on more work to make ends meet. Senator Scott also released a weekly update on his actions to address America's debt crisis, rising inflation and failing economy caused by the Biden-Harris administration's reckless and radical agenda.<_o3a_p>

Senator Rick Scottsaid, "Today's report is a disturbing reality and shows the impacts of the disastrous Biden-Harris administration's abysmal economic agenda and misplaced priorities. Nearly one million full-time jobs were lost. Over the past year, and the last month, more people are having to take on part-time jobs to get by. This report is showing the devastating reality of folks across the country and many are struggling. When I travel around Florida and talk to families, I hear heartbreaking stories about parents having to take on multiple jobs, folks losing their jobs, and having to go without just to scrape by. Growing up in public housing, I watched my parents work hard but still struggle to put food on the table. My mother worked multiple jobs just to make ends meet-and a lot of times, we went without. The Biden-Harris agenda is a total disaster for hardworking Americans, and I'm fighting like hell to stop it & make Washington work for Florida families."<_o3a_p>
