Commissioner Nikki Fried Statement on July Jobs Report
Today, the Bureau of Labor statistics released its July jobs report, revealing that over 16 million Americans are still out of work and the unemployment rate remains above 10 percent. In response, Florida’s Commissioner of Agriculture Nikki Fried released the following statement:
“Unemployment is still in the double digits because Donald Trump never stepped up to lead this nation -- he ignored the experts, pushed conspiracy theories, and still doesn’t have a plan to manage the pandemic. As thousands of Floridians worry about paying their rent, buying groceries, and keeping their families safe, what is Trump doing? He’s hosting campaign rallies and tweeting insults at his political opponents. It is going to take tremendous leadership to pull us out of the hole Donald Trump left us in, and that is why we must elect Joe Biden in November.”
