Groundwork’s Bilal Baydoun Reacts to May Jobs Report: “Forty straight months of job growth doesn’t happen by accident”

Today, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released the May jobs report which showed that the U.S. economy added 272,000 jobs and the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.0%. Groundwork Collaborative’s Director of Policy and Research Bilal Baydoun reacted with the following statement:

“As today’s jobs report shows, our economy is stronger when workers can get ahead. Forty straight months of job growth doesn’t happen by accident. “We can thank strong, sound public investments in the workers who drive our economy for this progress.”
