The GOP and the Republican National Committee (RNC) have sharply criticized the Biden administration for the drop in American workers’ real wages and the lackluster job creation numbers revealed in Friday’s closely-watched non-farm payrolls report, which showed September’s job growth to be the slowest all year.

Labor Department data released on Oct. 7 showed that American employers added 263,000 jobs in September, the lowest number since January, when the economy added 233,000 positions.
