FROM THE OFFICE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS

As a result of the President’s leadership, the recession has ended, our economy is beginning to recover, and we are seeing positive signs.  But, today’s unemployment numbers mean we need to do more to strengthen the environment for job creation. This Administration won’t be satisfied until every American who wants to work can find a job.  That is why we are working so closely with Congress to implement the President’s specific steps to build employer confidence and create momentum to hire new workers.
