Levin -- Statement on November Jobs Report

WASHINGTON – Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Sander Levin (D-MI) today made the following statement regarding the November jobs report:

“Today’s report provides fresh evidence of a continuing recovery and adds urgency for Republicans to end their intransigence over tax rates and come to the table to resolve the end of year issues.  We can come together and extend tax cuts for 98 percent of Americans, strengthen our economy and move forward on balanced deficit reduction.  The only thing standing in the way of providing certainty to citizens and businesses is that Republicans in Congress continue to place their pledge to Grover Norquist above their responsibility to the American people.”
