Levin Statement on Jobs Report

The following press release was published by the U.S. Congress Committee on Ways and Means on Oct. 7, 2011. It is reproduced in full below.

WASHINGTON - Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Sander Levin (D-MI)today issued the following statement after the release of the September jobs report:

“Today’s report highlights the urgent need for House Republicans to finally get off the sidelines and take action to jolt economic growth and job creation. In the nine months since they took control of the House, Republicans have not brought a single jobs bill to the floor. The American Jobs Act - by all indications - would provide a significant economic boost at a time when far too many Americans continue to look for work. Republicans must bring it up for a vote immediately. Our economic recovery hangs in the balance."
