January 9, 2009

Washington, D.C. – Today U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar issued the following statement in response to the recently released December jobs report.

“Today’s report further reveals that working families are bearing the brunt of our worsening economy.  With the national unemployment rate at its highest point in 16 years and the unemployment rate in Minnesota the highest it’s been in over 20 years, we must develop and implement a comprehensive recovery package that will not only jumpstart the economy but also make the long term investments necessary to create new jobs.”
