WASHINGTON – Joint Economic Committee (JEC) Ranking Member Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY) issued the following statement Friday after the Department of Labor announced that the economy added 156,000 nonfarm jobs in September.

“The increase of 156,000 jobs in September shows that we are on the right path. We have seen more than 15 million private-sector jobs added to our economy over the past 6 and a half years. More and more Americans are going back to work, and taking home more in their paychecks. Now we have to continue the programs and policies that have gotten us to this point and ensure that everyone will feel the full benefit of our recovery.”
