Titus Statement On President's Economic Speech

Statement

Congresswoman Dina Titus of Nevada's Third District and a member of the Congressional Task Force on Job Creation released the following statement today on President Obama's economic speech this morning.

"When I was sworn into office nearly one year ago, our country lost more than 700,000 jobs in one month alone. Since that time we have taken numerous steps to address the economic crisis we inherited. While we have seen signs that we are moving in the right direction, our work is far from done. Families in Southern Nevada are still struggling to find work and make ends meet.

"Today, President Obama made it clear that job creation must be our top priority moving forward. With Nevada's unemployment still at record levels, action is needed to get people back to work. President Obama outlined a number of ideas, from strengthening small businesses so they can once again become engines of growth in our community to investing in energy efficiency that will create clean energy jobs. I look forward to working with the President and my colleagues to put Nevadans back to work and grow our economy."
