Linda Sánchez Statement on January Jobs Report (Feb 3 2012)February 3, 2012 Washington, DC- Congresswoman Linda Sánchez (CA-39) released the following statement today after the Department of Labor announced that the economy added 243,000 jobs in January, dropping the unemployment rate to 8.3 percent. This report marks 23 consecutive months of private sector job growth. “Today’s promising job numbers are another indicator that the economy continues to move in the right direction. However, the unemployment rate is still unacceptably high. Congress must build on this progress and work to pass legislation that truly creates jobs. This is a crucial point in our economic recovery, and the American people can’t afford to wait around for Congress to finally get serious about job creation. “Congress should also be working to ensure that hard working Americans keep more of their hard earned money. Congress shouldn’t waste any more time and should immediately pass an extension of the payroll tax cut. Not only would this put more money back in the pockets of 160 million Americans, but it would help stimulate th... |

Linda Sánchez Statement on State of the Union (Jan 24 2012)January 24, 2012 Washington, DC -- Congresswoman Linda Sánchez (CA-39) released the following statement in response to President Obama’s State of the Union address: “I applaud President Obama for staying focused on the importance of continuing to build an economy that gives every American the opportunity to fulfill the American dream. Since 2009, we’ve added 3.2 million jobs and had twenty-two consecutive months of private sector job growth. We are moving in the right direction, but there’s much more work that needs to be done. “It is critically important for Southern California that we restore the health of our housing sector. In order for our economy to fully recover, we have to pursue solutions that help homeowners with underwater mortgages. “We should also fully support the American manufacturing sector, which is creating jobs for the first time in almost two decades. We should build on this progress by embracing policies like the ‘Make it in America’ agenda, which encourages innovation and helps our country stay competitive in the global market. ... |

We have gone an entire year without a serious job creation plan, and the American people simply can’t afford for Republicans to continue to waste time with destructive partisan games. “It’s time for Congress to get to work on policies that strengthen our economy and put Americans back to work.
