California Unemployment Rises Even Higher Thanks to Costa’s Broken Policies
Costa’s Overbearing Policies and Lack of Leadership Weakens Chances for Recovery Washington — Small business owners are ready to get America back to work but Jim Costa continuously refuses to support pro-growth measures. Costa’s California constituents are feeling the pain as the August unemployment rate in the state rose even higher to 12.1 percent. It’s clear that the anti-growth agenda pursued by Costa and his party is doing nothing to create jobs for American workers, stalling the effort to get the economy back on track. “California’s unemployment rate is the latest proof that Jim Costa and his party’s failed economic record and unpopular policies are getting in the way of job creation,” said NRCC Communications Director Paul Lindsay. “Costa has championed a big-government agenda that impedes the ability for small businesses to create jobs. California families deserve better than that, which is why they are prepared to send Costa a message next November.” California unemployment rose even higher to 12.1 percent in August. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Accessed 9/16/2011) “Unemployment rates rose in a majority of states in August for a third straight month, further proof that job growth is weak nationwide. “The Labor Department says unemployment rates increased in 26 states. They fell in 12 and remained unchanged in 12. “Nationwide, hiring fell significantly in August. The economy added no new net jobs, and the unemployment rate stayed at 9.1 percent for the second straight month.” (“Unemployment rates rose in majority of states,” AP, 9/16/2011)With California’s unemployment rate rising even higher in August, Jim Costa needs to stop blocking growth and start focusing on getting the millions of unemployed Americans back to work.
