REP. BROWN-WAITE HAILS CONTINUED JOB GROWTH AND STRONG ECONOMY
Latest Jobs Numbers Show 92,000 Increase in October With Unemployment Rate at Five Year Low of 4.4%

Washington, D.C., Nov 3 -

U.S. Representative Ginny Brown-Waite (FL-05) today released the following statement in response to the strong October jobs report.

“American jobs are being created at historic levels,” said Rep. Brown-Waite.  “Since the 2003 tax relief passed by Congress, we have seen three and a half straight years of month over month job creation.  These seven million new jobs are proof positive that the pro-growth economic policies proposed by this Republican led Congress have led to the strong economy we see today. 

“In addition to record levels of job creation, unemployment rates continue to be lower than the averages of the 1960s, 70s, 80s, or 90s.   New jobs and businesses have helped increase revenues to historic levels and lower the federal deficit more than $70 billion in just one year.  The Dow Jones average has hit all-time highs, and seniors have seen their retirement accounts grow more than 67 percent.  The Republican agenda of economic opportunity and low taxation has clearly helped put money back in taxpayers’ wallets and create new jobs throughout the nation.

Florida in particular has seen the dramatic impact of the strong economic rebound.  State unemployment hovers around 3%, with more and more Florida residents finding the high-paying quality jobs that they deserve.  It is clear to me that the strong economic policies of the Congress have led this expansion and job growth.”
