The Urgent Need for Job Creation in America

Floor Speech

Mr. McNERNEY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to discuss the urgent need to create jobs in America.

Millions of Americans have lost their jobs through no fault of their own, and finding a job now is as hard as it has been in generations. Our country needs decisive action, and we need it now.

Earlier this week, the President submitted the American Jobs Act to Congress, and I ask my colleagues in both parties to put partisanship aside and work together to create jobs our country desperately needs. Many of the proposals included in the American Jobs Act enjoy bipartisan support, and I call on Speaker Boehner and Leader Cantor to work together in good faith to bring forward good jobs proposals from both parties to Congress.

We won't have an economic recovery without putting people back to work.
