Washington, DC - After hearings on the continuing economic challenges during the weeks leading up to 4 November, Congressman Sestak was disappointed that neither a needed economic stimulus bill nor action on the automotive industry crisis was achieved. Congressman Sestak said, “The point is, first and foremost, we need to sustain existing and create new jobs in this country. In October, the national unemployment rate rose to 6.5%, with more than 1.2 million U.S. jobs lost over the last year – 500,000 of those in the last two months.” — »
