Speaker Boehner Statement on November Unemployment Report WASHINGTON, DC (Dec 2)
House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) issued the following statement today after the Department of Labor released its unemployment report for November 2011:
“Any job creation is welcome news, but the jobless rate in this country is still unacceptable. Today marks the 34th consecutive month of unemployment above eight percent. As you may remember, the Obama administration promised unemployment would stay below eight percent if its ‘stimulus’ was enacted. That promise has gone unfulfilled.
“Because the president’s policies have failed, the House has passed a series of bills designed to remove government barriers to private sector job creation. There are now 25 bipartisan jobs bills passed by the House awaiting a vote in the Senate. The key to getting all of these jobs measures enacted is the United States Senate. President Obama should use this opportunity to call on Senate Democrats to immediately give these bipartisan bills the vote they deserve.
“The American people want action on jobs, and the House is listening to the American people.”
