According to new data from the U.S. Department of Labor, the numbers showed that from April to March 2023 the U.S. economy added 818,000 fewer jobs than previously announced.
The new data shows that 2.1 million jobs were created in the U.S. in the past year, not 2.9 million as originally reported. Alabama officials are reacting to the released revision of the U.S. jobs report from March.
U.S. Rep. Gary Palmer (R-Hoover) reposted a post on X originally shared by the House GOP page, who blames “Kamalanomics” for the current state of the economy.

“The U.S. economy added 818,000 fewer jobs from March 2023 to March 2024 than initially reported…”
This is the largest downward revision to employment in 15 years.
This is #Kamalanomics https://t.co/vkDarJAAbC

U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) also blamed the weaker job numbers of the “Biden-Harris economy.”

U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) accused the Biden administration of intentionally misleading the public on the issue.

Tuberville also shared economic statistics on the rising cost of housing for Americans.
FACT: @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris’ economic policies are driving Americans into debt.
We can’t afford four more years of broke economics. Literally. https://t.co/kFrDcdsUur— Coach Tommy Tuberville (@SenTuberville) August 21, 2024
