JOBS REPORT ACTUALLY 'SUCKS'

Leader Cantor On Jobs Report: The Status Quo Is Not Good Enough
WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Majority Leader released the following statement on the March jobs report:
"Regardless of whether the monthly jobs reports show encouraging growth, or disappointing setbacks, nobody can or should be satisfied with the recent status quo. America doesn't work when hardworking people can't find the jobs or hours they need to make ends meet. The House has passed bill after bill that helps working middle class Americans get the skills they want, the jobs they desire and the hours they need and yet they all remain stalled in the Senate's legislative graveyard.


"The House has passed bills to help the long-term unemployed get necessary training, and to help working moms get the flexible hours they need. Just this week, the House passed a bill to restore hourly wages cut by ObamaCare's 30 hour work week rule. Hourly workers don't deserve to have their wages cut by as much as 25% because of ObamaCare. These ObamaCare induced wage cuts hurt the people who most need the extra income. Even Democrats understand these wage cuts hurt, but instead of helping solve the problem, Democrats instead choose to propose policies that would eliminate hundreds of thousands of additional jobs.
"An America that works encourages employment, ambition and opportunity. It's time that Democrats set politics aside, and embrace the common-sense and bipartisan measures that have passed the House to help grow the economy and create jobs. The status quo is not good enough, and Democrats should stop pretending it is."
