Congressman Larry Bucshon Comments on February Unemployment Numbers

Congressman Larry Bucshon (IN-08) comments on the February unemployment numbers:

            “It is encouraging that employers created 192,000 jobs in the month of February and unemployment is finally below 9 percent, but there is still much work to do to create jobs and get our economy roaring.

            This week, we have passed a short term funding resolution that will cut $4 billion in spending over a two week period and voted to repeal the onerous 1099 provision from ObamaCare.  The jobs numbers are evidence that job creators are responding to Republican efforts as we work to shore up uncertainty, put an end to the spending binge, and stop egregious regulations in order to get Americans back to work.”
