Business groups are blaming President Joe Biden after the most recent jobs report showed a far lower number of new jobs compared to what experts predicted.
"The disappointing jobs report makes it clear that paying people not to work is dampening what should be a stronger jobs market," the U.S. Chamber of Commerce said in a statement shortly after the new jobs report was released on Friday.
Experts predicted new jobs would boom as the coronavirus vaccine became more available and coronavirus-related lockdowns and restrictions were lifted.
Biden's Department of Labor reported that 266,000 new jobs were created in the month of April, well short of economists' prediction that 1 million new jobs would be created.
Job Creators Network President and CEO Alfredo Ortiz and co-founder of the Committee to Unleash Prosperity Stephen Moore, a contributor to the Washington Examiner, released a joint statement saying that other restrictions the Biden administration continues to impose are preventing economic recovery.
National Federation of Independent Business chief economist Bill Dunkelberg told Fox News that some businesses that offer additional hiring incentives have been able to find success in bringing back workers.
"Many small business owners who are trying to hire are finding themselves unsuccessful and are having to delay the hiring or offer higher wages. Some owners are offering 'show up' bonuses for workers who agree to take the job and actually show up for work," Dunkelberg said.
