October Unemployment Report

This morning the Department of Labor released the October jobs report. While I am always pleased to hear that some people were able to find employment, this week people across the nation made it very clear they are frustrated with the status quo and upset with the direction of our economy and the slow job growth that has come with it. Americans knows that there is still much more work to be done to ensure that all individuals have the opportunities to find good-paying, full-time jobs.

As this year comes to a close and the 114th Congress begins, I look forward to working closely with my colleagues in the House of Representatives and the Senate to implement common sense, pro-growth policies that Harry Reid ignored for years. It is time for both bodies of Congress to effectively work together and get Americans back to work.
