Job Creators Network Reacts to Weekly Unemployment Claims Report

Washington, DC (September 24, 2020) — New data released by the Department of Labor reveals the number of first-time unemployment claims was 870,000 last week.

Alfredo Ortiz, President and CEO of the Job Creators Network (JCN), released the following statement:

“Today, President Trump will be delivering a major speech on healthcare, offering a broad vision of healthcare reform during his second term. This is a critical issue for America’s small business community. Since Obamacare took effect, more than 30 percent of small business owners have been forced to drop health insurance coverage for their employees due to rising costs. Enacting personalized healthcare is a critical component of our recovery, and President Trump is the only candidate who supports it. Joe Biden wants to enact Obamacare 2.0 – the so-called ‘public option’ that is really just a gradual government takeover of our healthcare system. Biden has fallen hook-line-and-sinker for his party’s left-wing agenda: trillions in new taxes, a Green New Deal to socialize our economy, and a $15 minimum wage. He would turn our ‘V-shaped’ recovery into an ‘L-shaped’ depression.  There is only one candidate who can be trusted to lead our economy: President Trump.”
