Hensarling Statement on April 2012 Unemployment Report

WASHINGTON – Congressman Jeb Hensarling (R-TX), Chairman of the House Republican Conference, issued the following statement today regarding the latest unemployment report released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. “Job growth is not as strong as it can be because job creators are simply not as confident in this economy or its future as they should be. By any historical standard, our recovery should be booming and new jobs should be flourishing by now. Instead, because of the president’s failed policies, job growth is not even keeping pace with population growth as we remain stuck in the longest period of 8 percent-plus unemployment since the Great Depression.
