The economy is working for working Americans. Tell the U.S. Senate to build on historic economic gains by passing the Build Back Better Act now!

Over the last year, thanks to policies passed and implemented by a Democratic-controlled Congress and President Biden, Americans are experiencing historic economic gains.

Because of Democratic policies -- including stimulus, unemployment benefits, the child tax credit, food assistance payments, and more, included in the American Rescue Plan -- we’re trending towards a historic economic recovery.

In order to continue critical programs that are strengthening U.S. workers and families, and address inflation while combating COVID-19 we need a continued investment in working people. Sign the petition and tell the U.S. Senate to act now to pass the Build Back Better Act.

Whether it’s job growth, wages, household wealth or worker power, the Biden agenda is delivering -- and we have receipts:

Job growth

The U.S. has added an average of 582,000 jobs per month in 2021 -- for a total of 5.8 million new jobs this year.

Even as the delta variant raged during the end of the summer and into the fall, job growth averaged 442,000 jobs a month from August to October.

Wages

Wages and salaries increased 4.6% for the 12-month period ending September 2021 -- increasing especially for those who’ve historically been left behind.

Younger workers have seen a 9.7% wage increase and the bottom 20% of earners have seen a 5.1% raise.

Household wealth

The bottom 50% of households now have more than $3 trillion in wealth -- that’s up nearly 20% from early 2021, and up 55% from pre-pandemic levels.

In July 2021, families’ cash balances were more than 50% higher than they were pre-pandemic.

Worker power

With more wealth and greater prospects for the future, American workers now feel secure enough to leave their jobs and find new ones -- ones with better wages and working conditions.

According to Gallup polls, “a record-high 74% say now is a good time to find a quality job.”


We can’t stop now. Sign the petition to pass the Build Back Better Act and continue the Biden Boom!
