WASHINGTON – Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), member of the Joint Economic Committee, today issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Labor Department February 2021 report:

"The 379,000 payroll jobs added in February suggest the recovery is accelerating. Americans' hard work and perseverance during the challenges of the last year are finally being realized, and more Americans are being vaccinated. With a third vaccine now available for distribution, expectations are set for a record recovery from the pandemic-induced recession."
