Jobs on the decline in September report (Rep. John Kline)
Month after month, millions of Americans look for work but cannot find it. Month after month, employers seek the confidence they need to expand and thrive, but uncertainty remains. Yet month after month, Democrats in Washington keep our nation on its unsustainable path of deficit spending and looming tax hikes.
Today’s report is not merely a monthly snapshot but the latest evidence that job creation trends are falling far short of what we need for a sustainable recovery. Our economy remains stagnant with major indicators showing little or no change despite our need for meaningful growth and expansion. Moreover, yesterday Gallup predicted the jobs picture may be even worse than today’s report reveals with the most recent unemployment increases not reflected in today’s numbers.
It’s time for lawmakers to listen and learn – to listen to our constituents and learn from the failed policies that have not delivered the economic recovery the American people were promised. Republicans have made a Pledge to America to immediately focus on job creation by ending economic uncertainty, stopping out of control government spending and taking other commonsense steps to make America more competitive. Jump-starting the economy and digging out of debt will take time, which is why we must start immediately.
