Today, Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) made the following statement after the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics released the latest employment report, citing an increase of 211,000 new jobs in the month of March:
“When President Bush signed the tax cuts into law in 2003, he could have referred to the bill as the ’Friends and Family Plan’ because most Americans have seen their loved ones benefit from our country’s booming economy. Democrats continue to claim the tax cuts only benefit rich Americans but their rhetoric simply doesn’t match up to reality. Over 211,000 new jobs were created in March in all sectors of our workforce. From architects and waitresses to computer programmers and medical technicians, over 5 million Americans have discovered new career opportunities in the less than three years.”
Just who are the 211,000 Americans with new jobs?
