The Republican Tax Bill is a Job Killer
AFL-CIO
My name is Michael J. Smith. I am here to tell you why the tax bill is a JOB KILLER.
Up until March of 2016, I was employed at the Nabisco bakery in Chicago.
I had worked there nearly five years and am unemployed today because Nabisco/Mondelēz sent my job and the jobs of over 500 others at the bakery to Mexico.
That happened because our trade and tax laws make it easy and profitable for companies to outsource our jobs. During last year’s election, I heard a lot of politicians say it was time to change the rules to bring jobs home.
But now I see this tax bill and here’s what it says: It says that from now on, Mondelēz, a U.S. company, will pay no taxes in the United States on its profits from its Mexican plant where my job went. But it will pay taxes on the profits from its plants here in the U.S.—a 20% tax. What do you think will happen to my brothers and sisters still working in the U.S. under those rules?
Literally, this tax bill wants to pay companies like Mondelēz to move jobs like mine out of the United States. I can't believe it.
So...
The Economy Gains 261,000 Jobs in October, and Unemployment Was Little Changed at 4.1%
The U.S. economy gained 261,000 jobs in October, and unemployment was little changed at 4.1%, according to figures released this morning by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This continues the recovery of the labor market at a tempered rate, which means the Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee should continue to let the economy grow and not raise interest rates.
In response to the October jobs numbers, AFL-CIO Chief Economist William Spriggs tweeted:
#jobsreport wages fell, September to October, over the year only rose 2.4%, with 3.0% boost in productivity no reason for Fed to raise rate

#jobsreport a big part of the October increase was the 89,000 job bounce-back for food establishments closed by Harvey and Irma @AFLCIO
