Oct. 8, 2020 Tweet - "Unemployment claims from last week remain historically high with 1 in 6 workers seeking assistance. Instead of providing urgent relief, the GOP have walked away from negotiations on a COVID-19 relief bill, abandoning the millions of Americans who are waiting to get back to work." Rep. Steny Hoyer
Oct. 1, 2020 Tweets - "Jobless claims remain unprecedented, with over 800,000 new claims last week. Americans are continuing to suffer during this pandemic. Democrats have introduced a new bill to provide relief, but I hope we can reach a bipartisan agreement instead." Rep. Steny Hoyer
Sept. 17, 2020 Tweet - "Week after week, unemployment numbers show the catastrophic economic impact this pandemic is having on American households.

Sept. 10, 2020 Tweet - "The Republican narrative that Americans were disincentivized to return to work while receiving $600 in enhanced UI couldn't be further from the truth." Rep. Steny Hoyer
Sept. 10, 2020 Tweet - "It is unacceptable that, over a month after Republicans allowed emergency unemployment assistance to expire, nearly 1 in 5 Americans are still waiting to get back to work. This is the wrong direction." Rep. Steny Hoyer

Aug. 27, 2020 Tweet - "The jobless claims report again shows over 1M new claims in a week. Nearly 30M Americans are waiting to get back to work. The GOP said the extra $600 in UI benefits was a disincentive to work. With this expanded benefit gone, we see how false that is. We need the #HeroesAct now." Rep. Steny Hoyer
Aug. 14, 2020 Letter to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Sonny Perdue - Members of Maryland Delegation Urge USDA Secretary Perdue to Extend School Nutrition Waivers for Children and Families During COVID-19 Pandemic Sen. Chris Van Hollen, ...
Aug. 13, 2020 Tweet - "Last week's jobless claims report confirms that nearly 30 million workers lost $600 in emergency UI after GOP let it expire.

Aug. 7, 2020 Tweet - "While I am relieved the unemployment rate fell slightly in July, there is little to celebrate. At 10.2%, it is still above the worst month of the Great Recession & the pace of job gains slowed again last month. We are still a long way from a full recovery." Rep. Steny Hoyer
Aug. 7, 2020 Tweet - ". @HouseBudgetDems released an important report today about what's at stake for working families and our economy after the GOP allowed enhanced unemployment assistance to expire. We must reach agreement now to ensure Americans can make ends meet." Rep. Steny Hoyer

July 16, 2020 Tweet - "With new data for unemployment insurance, this week's UI claims report is another troubling snapshot of the historic economic toll working families face.

July 13, 2020 Tweet - "With millions of Americans seeking jobless benefits each week, it is outrageous that so many Americans are still waiting for assistance months into this crisis." Rep. Steny Hoyer
