Boren Comments on New Job Numbers
Rep. Dan Boren, D-Muskogee, released a statement today about the new unemployment figures:
“Today’s report of 524,000 jobs lost last month is another clear example that Congress must take decisive and comprehensive action to stimulate our nation’s economy. Since this recession began in early 2007, the economy has shed 3.6 million jobs. The tragedy is that those numbers represent millions of families who are struggling every day to make ends meet. The severity of this recession is made even clearer by today’s overall unemployment rate of 7.2% which is the highest in 15 years. I hope the new Congress and Administration will work in a bipartisan fashion to pass a large-scale, but focused economic stimulus package, to get America’s economy moving and the unemployed back to work. I pledge to make certain that the constituents of the Second Congressional District have a strong voice in the discussions over the best course of action for our nation’s economy.”
