Marking Labor Day 2015, Ranking Member Robert C. "Bobby" Scott made the following statement to American workers:
"Labor Day is a time to reflect and celebrate the contributions of America's workers. Our nation's workers make our economy and our communities stronger, and we know that when workers do well, our economy thrives.
"Our economy has now experienced 66 straight months of job growth -- the longest streak on record. This means that Americans who are looking for work are finding more opportunities to help them get back on their feet.
