Wilson Urges Passage of Twenty Jobs Bills

Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) released the following statement after the Bureau of Labor Statistics released its October jobs report. The unemployment rate remains at an unacceptable 9.0% as the economy created 80,000 jobs:

"Yet again, this Administration has shown it remains out of touch with American families. More than 14 million Americans are unemployed. Last month, the President embarked on a national campaign to promote his so-called jobs plan, a plan that even liberals in the Senate have rejected three times.

"By passing twenty jobs bills, House Republicans continue to focus on job creation. I urge Senate Democrats to take action on these bills that will allow American families to get back to work."
