Rubio Comments On Today's Florida Jobs Report

Statement

U.S. Senate Republican nominee Marco Rubio issued the following statement regarding today's report that Florida's unemployment rate increased to 11.9 percent and that 1,100,000 Floridians are unemployed:

"With the support of my two opponents, Washington has spent the past 20 months pursuing policies that have created an environment of job-crippling uncertainty in Florida and across America. Having 1,100,000 Floridians out of work is a sobering reminder of the consequences bad policies have.

"Washington's legacy of misspending, its unhealthy belief that politicians create jobs, and the job-crippling effect of potential tax hikes and ObamaCare will take years to undo and courageous leaders who will step up to this challenge while proposing a clear alternative. We can't afford more of this Washington agenda, and the American people will soon have an opportunity to show that we won't stand for it.

"Over these final 11 days before Election Day, I will continue discussing our ideas to grow the economy and cut spending as a clear alternative to the direction Washington has taken us."
