Wilson Commends Extraordinary Job Growth
March 10, 2006
Today, Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) expressed his enthusiasm for the U.S. Department of Labor's announcement that 243,000 jobs were created in February:
"After yesterday's announcement that South Carolina's unemployment rate has decreased by a full percentage point, today's national report further demonstrates the tremendous strength of the American economy. As we celebrate thirty consecutive months of job growth, workers throughout our nation are reaping the benefits of Republican pro-growth policies. From construction workers and nurses to business people and teachers, Americans are finding jobs in their communities and keeping more of their well-deserved income. Congress must remain committed to cutting taxes and eliminating excessive government regulations to provide continued opportunities for America's workers.
