Chairman Walberg on Democrats’ Continued Shutdown Harming Jobs Data

Image November 7, 2025 Press Release Today, Education and Workforce Committee Chairman Tim Walberg (R-MI) released the following statement on how the Democrat government shutdown is hindering access to jobs data for the second month in a row: “Once again, our nation will not receive timely jobs data because Democrats are keeping the federal government shut down. This data is a critical tool businesses, workers, and policy makers use to assess the strength of America’s economy and workforce. Without it, our workforce is forced to navigate increasing economic uncertainty caused by the Democrat shutdown while workers struggle to pay bills or put food on the table. “It is imperative we reopen the government, return to President Trump’s pro-growth agenda, and restore certainty for our workforce and the American economy.” Issues : Jobs and Economy
