Latest Jobs Numbers Highlight Urgent Need to Extend Child Tax Credit

Today, Fighting Chance for Families spokeswoman McKenzie Wilson released the following statement in response to the latest jobs report showing slower than expected job growth as Delta continues to rage across the country:

“These latest job numbers highlight just how fragile this economic recovery is and just how important it is for Congress to move quickly to permanently extend the child tax credit to give the economy a boost and give families and communities the certainty and support they need,” said McKenzie Wilson, spokeswoman for Fighting Chance for Families. “There is no longer any doubt: the money in people’s pockets from the child tax credit is preventing poverty, boosting local small businesses, and helping the economy recover – and Congress cannot allow it to be cut off.”
