“Today’s news of continued job growth and a drop in the
unemployment rate is good news for workers and is another sign that the
President’s economic policies are turning the economy around. This month
the economy created 126,000 jobs, bringing job creation in the past three
months to 286,000 new jobs. Weekly claims for unemployment benefits have
continued to fall and other economic indicators show that we are experiencing
the strongest economic growth in nearly 20 years.
“Still, as the President has said, we are optimistic, but not
complacent. We will not rest until every American who wants a job can find one.
Even more jobs can be created when Congress acts on the President’s
Six-Point Plan for the Economy, which will make health insurance more
affordable, reduce the lawsuit burden on the economy and allow employers and
workers to plan for the future by making tax relief
permanent.”
