Broun Statement on November Jobs Report

Statement

Date: Dec. 2, 2011
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Economy and Fiscal

Congressman Paul Broun, M.D. (GA-10) today issued the following statement after the Department of Labor released their November jobs report showing the national unemployment rate to still hover around 8.6% and a net total of 120,000 jobs created:

"Today's job report paints a clear picture of how thoroughly this Administration's policies have failed. While the addition of 120,000 net jobs appears to be good news, what it hides is that 315,000 Americans have now simply given up looking for work, and are no longer counted in these unemployment figures. The Democrat mantra of shifting more and more power to the federal government is leaving the American people discouraged, disheartened, and feeling powerless. It's time for that to change.

"I urge President Obama and the Senate Democrats to abandon their broken big-government efforts and to work with House Republicans to bolster the free market. That's the only way we'll ever see real recovery."
