- Rep. McKinley Responds to October Jobs Report.
Washington, D.C. — Today, Rep. David B. McKinley, P.E. (R-W.Va.) released the following statement on today’s announcement by the Bureau of Labor Statistics the unemployment rate rose from 7.8 percent to 7.9 percent:
“Today’s news is another reminder this country is headed in the wrong direction under President Obama’s failed economic policies,” said...Rep. McKinley. “The rate of recovery is much slower than where it should be. The unemployment rate is now higher than when it was when President Obama took office.”See More
“Unfortunately, the President’s solution is more government bureaucracy by creating a new Secretary of Business,” noted McKinley. “That’s not how you create and maintain jobs.”
“Before taking office, Barack Obama said the unemployment rate would not rise above eight percent,” noted McKinley. “But for 43 months, it remained above eight percent and millions of Americans started losing hope. This is the highest period of sustained unemployment since the Great Depression.”
“With 23 million unemployed or underemployed Americans, we must change course and give hope to millions hurt by Obama’s economy,” added Rep. McKinley. David McKinley shared a link.

- Rep. McKinley Responds to CONSOL Layoffs Due to EPA Permit Delays.
Washington, D.C.—CONSOL Energy recently announced it will be forced to lay off 145 workers before the holidays due to delays in the EPA’s permitting process at a surface mine in West Virginia.
“This delay is costing good-paying jobs to our state’s hard-working coal miners,” said Rep. David B. McKinley. “This is just another examp...le of the Obama Administration’s relentless attack on the coal industry and its workers. For years, the EPA has been bullying coal companies and the workers they employ. It’s amazing to think there are still people in Washington who think there is no war on coal. That is a dangerous denial.”See More
CONSOL Energy is attributing the idling of its Miller Creek Coal Mine in Mingo County, W.Va. to a number of delays from the EPA that has prevented the company from securing all of the necessary environmental permits required to continue mining.
“Permitting delays are rampant in the coal industry and provide just another layer of uncertainty while thousands of workers and their families worry about their futures,” said Rep. McKinley. “This is another example of death by a thousand slashes for the coal industry, whether it is delays on permits or new burdensome regulations on coal fired power plants.”
“The EPA and the Obama Administration continue to harm thousands of workers and the millions of Americans who depend on affordable and reliable electricity from coal,” added McKinley. “The constant attacks on coal have to stop.”
CONSOL says the annual estimated economic impact of the complex is Mingo County in $161.6 million. - Rep. McKinley meets with some staff and representatives from Camden Clark Hospital in Parkersburg, W.Va.
