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.”
