WASHINGTON, DC—House Majority Whip James E. Clyburn today commented on the report released today by the Department of Labor which stated that the US economy lost 240,000 jobs in October bringing the total jobs lost in 2008 to 1.2 million.
“If there was any doubt about the need for a recovery package in the near-term, today’s jobs report puts it to rest. Congress must return to Washington to pass a robust recovery package to bring relief to American workers, strengthen the economy and create jobs. This should be a first step in a long-term aggressive strategy to put the US economy back on track. I look forward to working with the Obama administration on an effective economy recovery plan.”
