WASHINGTON D.C. U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady (R-TX) the top House Republican on the Joint Economic Committee released the following statement after the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the economy gained 162000 payroll jobs in the month of March:
The hiring of 48000 temporary Census workers in March distorts the jobs picture said Brady who notes that Census hiring peaks in March April and May of this year.
The temporary Census jobs which last an average of eight weeks will take a toll later in the summer jobs reports.
While its encouraging to see recovery in the manufacturing sector the fact is that nearly 4 million private sector jobs have been lost since President Obamas stimulus was passed. Growth in government jobs whether temporary Census jobs or at the federal state and local levels do not form a confident foundation for sustainable recovery.
Despite vows by the Presidents economic advisors that 90 percent of stimulus jobs would occur in the private sector the primary sector of growth has been the federal government which has grown by 108000 jobs since February of 2009 when the stimulus was passed by Congress.
The Obama administration has failed by a wide margin to meet their own stimulus standards for putting people back to work. How long do we have to wait to get America back on the right track? asked Brady.
