Andy Harris On Maryland September Jobs Report

Unemployment Rises to 7.5 Percent

SEVERNA PARK, Md. – Andy Harris released the following statement regarding September’s Maryland Jobs Report showing unemployment rising from 7.3 percent to 7.5 percent:

“The Maryland Jobs Report proves the Obama-Pelosi-Kratovil Team has failed once again and our economy continues to sputter. Of the reported Maryland jobs that were created in September, 73 percent of them were actually government jobs. Increasing the size of government is not the way to jumpstart our economy. The economy must grow from the bottom up, creating private sector jobs through tax cuts and small business incentives, not through taxpayer-funded government jobs. We need to break up the Obama-Pelosi-Kratovil Team and send someone to Washington who knows what it takes to create jobs and get our country back on the right track.”
