Washington, DC - Ways and Means Ranking Member Sandy Levin (D-MI) today issued the following statement on the Department of Labor’s jobs report for August:
“Over the last several months, every pronouncement and policy coming from the Republicans has hurt the prospects for the economy. Hopefully these numbers will convince them of the need to join with us to work on real job creation strategies. Our priority must be policies that stimulate the American economy, create jobs and support families thrown out of work during the recession and struggling to find new employment opportunities during this slow recovery."
