U.S. Unemployment Rate Climbs to 9.1%

The U.S. Department of Labor released the May jobs report Friday showing unemployment climbing to 9.1 percent.

So much for the stimulus. So much for the bailouts. So much for deficit spending. So much for the socialist policies.

The Obama Recession continues into its third year.

Pennsylvania Congressman Rep. Joe Pitts issued the following statement:
"Millions of Americans are looking for jobs, but are finding few new opportunities. Today's jobs report is more evidence that the economic policies of this administration have failed. Trillions of dollars in government spending had an insignificant effect on employment and nearly doubled the national debt in less than three years.

Last November, the American people called for a new direction. House Republicans have energetically proposed solutions to empower job creators: reducing energy prices, cutting government red tape and reforming a burdensome tax code. We need the Senate and the President to work together with us on these jobs bills. Getting Americans working again has to be Washington's first priority."
