Titus Statement on Nevada’s Unemployment Numbers
"These latest unemployment numbers reflect what we already know – Nevadans are struggling during this difficult economic time and we must continue to make job creation our top priority.  This means diversifying our economy so that Southern Nevada is not so dependent on tourism and gaming and investing in both the production and manufacturing of renewable energy."

“Investing in renewable energy and energy efficiency is critical to our efforts to diversify Nevada’s economy and put people back to work.  The funds in the Recovery Act have increased our ability to utilize our abundant renewable resources and created jobs that cannot be shipped overseas.  Investments in clean energy that have both created jobs and lowered energy costs for Nevada’s families and businesses are a win-win for the Silver State.”

Titus Again Supports Extending Unemployment Benefits
"By passing this important extension of unemployment benefits we are providing help for nearly 31,000 Nevadans who have exhausted their benefits while Republicans stood in the way.  With Nevadans facing record unemployment, it is critical that we provide them with support while we work to turn our economy around and create new jobs in our community."

Titus Statement on the President Signing Wall Street Reform into Law

Titus Statement on Nevada’s Unemployment Numbers
"The failed economic policies of the Bush administration have left us with the deepest recession in a generation, and as we work to turn our economy around it is critical that we provide relief for Nevadans who are struggling to stay in their home or put food on the table.  These unemployment benefits are invested right back into our economy when families buy school supplies and groceries and pay the rent."

Titus Applauds Senate Passage of Wall Street Reform That Will End Taxpayer Bailouts

Titus Joins Unemployed Workers to Call on Republicans to Stop Blocking an Extension of Unemployment Benefits
"You know, when I see Republicans stand in the way of passing this legislation and hear them say things like unemployment makes people ‘spoiled’ or people don’t want to look for a job, it just makes me angry.  Nothing could be further from the truth and it is such an insult to the American people, the hardest working people on the planet.  These are the people who build America, who run America, who serve America, who keep us going forward.  And then to say to them they are spoiled; it is a disgrace."

Titus Applauds Effort to Develop Cutting Edge Solar Technologies in Southern Nevada

Titus Again Supports Extending Unemployment Benefits for Nevadans
“Too many Nevadans cannot wait any longer for the passage of this critical extension of unemployment benefits.  Our state faces unprecedented economic challenges, from record unemployment to record foreclosures.  With 14 percent of Nevadans unemployed, we all know a friend, a family member, or neighbor who has lost a job as a result of the deepest recession in a generation.  It’s time that we stand up and fight for them by extending unemployment benefits that will help them weather this economic storm.”

Titus: Sweeping Wall Street Reform Will End Taxpayer Bailouts, Protect Nevadans from Predatory Lending
"With these critical reforms, we are fighting back against Wall Street and standing up for hard-working Nevadans who have lost their financial security during the recession.  Nevadans have paid a steep price for the lack of regulation and oversight of Wall Street banks.  With the consumer protections in this bill, Nevadans will be empowered to make the best decisions for their financial future."

Titus: Expedia’s Adding of 130 Jobs in Las Vegas a Welcome Sign
"Expedia’s adding of 130 jobs in Las Vegas is a positive sign at a time when we could use some welcome news.  I have been hard at work promoting legislation that will help Nevada businesses grow and create jobs, and this expansion is a sign that our efforts are having an effect."

Titus: With Nevada Families Hurting, Republicans Again Block Extension of Unemployment Benefits
"Just this past weekend, I held another Congress on the Corner to hear directly from my constituents in District Three, and so many of them are hurting.  With unemployment at a record high of 14 percent, many Nevadans are in need of help during this tough economic time.  That is why I stood up to fight for them and vote to extend unemployment benefits for so many Nevadans who want desperately to find work."

"According to local experts, the Homebuyers Assistance and Improvement Act of 2010 before us now will extend to October 1 the date by which purchasers must close the sale of a home in order to obtain the homebuyer tax credit.  This will allow approximately 3,800 first-time homebuyers in Southern Nevada to receive the credit."

Titus Introduces Bill to Help States More Effectively Plan for Security Threats
"This legislation is about making sure communities, such as Las Vegas that face certain risks, have the information and data they need to best use vital homeland security funding.  Ensuring the safety of Southern Nevadans as well as the millions of visitors who come to Las Vegas every year is critical to our economy and tourism sector."

Titus Statement on Nevada Unemployment Numbers
"Pulling Nevada out of the deepest recession in a generation will not be easy.  We inherited an economic crisis that was deeper than anyone anticipated and solving this challenge will take time.  Meanwhile, with so many Nevadans unemployed, it is critical that Congress pass an extension of unemployment benefits to help them weather this economic storm.  I supported this effort in the House, and I encourage the Senate to act quickly."
