Dem Rep. Walkinshaw on Jobs Report: ‘It Doesn’t Do a Lot of Good to Have a Job, if You Can’t Afford Gas’

EXCERPT:

WALKINSHAW: "Well, I think we‘ll wait to see for the revisions on the jobs report. But the challenge with this economy hasn‘t been jobs, it‘s been cost. It‘s the fact that costs are rising faster than wages. And I‘m glad that there are jobs being created, but it doesn‘t do a lot of good to have a job if you can‘t afford gas, you can‘t afford groceries, because those prices are skyrocketing. So we gotta get costs under control. The tariffs are driving up costs. The war in Iran is driving up costs. And that‘s the key pain point for the American people, including those I represent here in Virginia."
