U.S. Senate Candidate Carly Fiorina Issues Statement on Increasing Unemployment Rate. SACRAMENTO, CA – U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina today issued the following statement in response to the report released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics this morning showing that the unemployment rate ticked up to 9.6 percent in August and that 54,000 Americans lost jobs last month:

“Today’s news that the unemployment rate ticked up last month, as private-sector growth remained anemic, confirms yet again that the parade of big-government policies championed by Barbara Boxer – particularly the $814 billion economic stimulus plan – has failed to deliver the jobs and economic growth she promised California.

“After nearly three decades in Washington, Barbara Boxer has proven she believes government bloat paid for by higher taxes is the same thing as economic growth. The fact is that her continued support for budget-busting, big-government policies is killing jobs and stifling economic growth. With more than 2.2 million Californians out of work, we need leaders in Washington who understand how jobs are created – not those who talk a lot but produce few results.

“As California’s senator, I will make real job creation my first priority, and that starts with a focus on our nation’s true economic engines: the small businesses and entrepreneurs that employ half the nation’s private-sector workers and create two-thirds of our nation’s new jobs.”
