Chairman Becerra: Republicans are Out of Touch with Economic Reality- Priorities for American Families
Statement
Issues: Unemployed and Low-Income
Democratic Caucus Chairman Xavier Becerra (CA-34) released the following statement on the Department of Labor's August employment report.
"151,000 Americans found work in August with the unemployment rate holding steady at 4.9 percent for the third straight month. In a world swirling with instability, the United States stands out. Let's hope this coming month, Congress -- which left for a 7-week recess without a budget or a plan of action to combat Zika or senseless gun violence -- understands the value of a steady hand and gets its work done on time without the drama of obstruction and dysfunction that has plagued it all year."
