Largest Monthly Job Gain In 3 Years

Pelosi Statement on March Jobs Report

Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi released the following statement on the March jobs report issued today by the Department of Labor showing job gains of 162,000 — the largest job gains in one month in the past three years. Additionally, private employers added 123,000 jobs, the most since May 2007.

“Today’s jobs report offers optimism that the economic recovery is starting to reach America’s workers. News that American job losses of nearly 800,000 a month under President Bush are now turning to job gains of 162,000 last month – the most jobs added in one month in the past three years – is evidence that U.S. businesses are gaining confidence.

“Building on the Recovery Act’s tax cuts for and investments in American families and small businesses, we are continuing our efforts to spur job creation in the private sector.

“Just this month, Congress has passed and the President has signed the HIRE Act to give small businesses a tax break for hiring new workers and to create jobs building the infrastructure of the future. And health insurance reform, now law, will create up to 4 million new jobs over the decade. The new law also expands educational opportunities for America’s students and families - a key to economic success in the 21st Century - and makes the largest investment in college aid in our nation’s history to lower the cost of student loans.

“To ensure America’s continued global competitiveness, we must all have access to the tools to succeed in times of economic prosperity as well as times of uncertainty. We will continue our efforts to end economic disparities that have existed longer than the current downturn.

“Today’s jobs report is hopeful news, but we are not finished. We will continue to fight to put Americans back to work by laying a new foundation for renewed economic strength and opportunity.”

5. Since pictures say a thousand words, and that chart shows how dramatic the improvement has been, I

wish Dems. would run an ad SHOWING that chart while touting the success of the Stimulus Package so far.

6. Good news, indeed. President Obama's team of Geithner and Sommers have been doing a good job.

Those who want President Obama to fail must be very disappointed but sane Americans are very happy.
