NRCC Incoming Chairman Walden’s Statement on November Jobs Numbers

WASHINGTON – National Republican Congressional Committee incoming Chairman Greg Walden (R-OR) released the following statement in response to the 7.7 percent unemployment rate for the month of November:

“The sad legacy of President Obama’s policies is very slow economic growth and too many middle class Americans working multiple jobs—if they can find any job at all–to make ends meet for their families.

“Republicans want to grow the economy, not the federal bureaucracy.   We want to bring certainty to the marketplace to spur investment in American innovation, manufacturing, research and jobs.   It’s time to end the march toward more federal control of the economy and the red tape and regulations that depress job growth.  American families deserve a better opportunity than they’re getting right now.”
