WASHINGTON - Ways and Means Ranking Member Sander Levin (D-MI) and Human Resources Subcommittee Ranking Member Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) issued the following statements regarding the May jobs report released today:
“Instead of acting as partners in promoting economic recovery, Republicans in Washington are making it harder to create jobs," said Committee Ranking Member Levin. “They threaten to shut down the government, they threaten to default on our Nation’s debts, and they threaten the jobs of teachers, police officers and many others. Creating this kind of uncertainty hurts our economic recovery."
“Obsessed with their radical agenda, Republicans have offered nothing but distractions from the real work that remains to create opportunity for those Americans still struggling to find work," said Human Resources Subcommittee Ranking Member Doggett.
