Capito Responds To Latest Jobs Numbers Released By Department Of Labor

"Today's disappointing jobs numbers reinforce the urgency for Democrats and Republicans to work together to foster a positive environment for job growth, free of the threat of more regulations and higher taxes.

"House Republicans have introduced and passed multiple bills to help job creators and lift burdensome regulations and crushing debt which continue to slow our economy down. Just yesterday I voted for a bill to remove unnecessary and excessive EPA regulations that threaten jobs in the cement manufacturing industry. Unfortunately, the Senate and the Administration continue to believe we can borrow, spend, tax and regulate our way to recovery.

"The national unemployment rate has hovered around 9% for over two and a half years. Thirteen million more Americans are on food stamps since the President took office. It's time to for a new economic plan that creates more jobs, not more government."
