CBC Chair Marcia L. Fudge's Statement on the June Jobs Report

07/03/14

WASHINGTON, DC - Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Chair Marcia L. Fudge released the following statement on the June jobs report: 

“Today’s jobs report shows significant improvement in our nation’s unemployment rate. The national unemployment rate fell to 6.1 percent, and unemployment in the African-American community dropped to 10.7 percent, both being the lowest rates since September 2008.  While these numbers are promising, there is still much work to be done to ensure unemployment remains on this downward slope and that the short and long-term unemployed continue to have the support they need.

“The CBC continues working to support and improve both education and employment opportunities that equip people of color and those from low-income communities with the skills needed to compete in today’s job market. Through strong job training programs and by solidifying a pipeline for employers to access the talent in our communities, individuals acquire a broader skill set that also increases the pool of qualified applicants for available opportunities. The CBC also remains committed to ensuring the decreasing employment rate reflects a diversity of workers in jobs with incomes that allow them to provide for their families. The benefits of a strengthening economy should be felt by all Americans. No one should be left behind.”
