Dent Statement on May Jobs Report

Statement

Date: June 3, 2011
Issues: Economy and Fiscal

U.S. Rep. Charlie Dent (PA-15) issued the following statement on the Bureau of Labor Statistics' (BLS) May Employment Report:

"Certainly, I am disappointed the May employment figures reveal the economy is still struggling to recover. Sadly, I am not surprised by this news. Employers are naturally reluctant to hire new workers while the President continues to call for tax increases, stands in the way of domestic energy production and turns a blind eye to a growing list of onerous federal regulations.

"It is long past time to unleash the private sector, get serious about tax reform, open markets for American producers and stop bureaucrats from stifling job creation across the country. The anti-business agenda of this Administration must end. The President can no longer be both pro-jobs and anti-employer."
