STATEMENT FROM COMMERCE SECRETARY
DONALD L. EVANS ON TODAY’S POSITIVE
RETAIL SALES FIGURES
Today the Commerce Department Released Data Showing
Retail Sales rose +0 .9% in November

“Cash registers are working harder this holiday season because more people have jobs and the economy is growing. Thanks to the President’s tax relief, more people are taking home paychecks and consumer confidence is strong. Although there’s been a steady stream of positive economic news, President Bush won't be satisfied until every person looking for work finds a job.”
