Heller on April unemployment numbers: “I remain concerned”

Sen Dean Heller, R-Nev., reacting to the report today that Nevada's unemployment rate dropped to 12.5 percent in April, said this is a statement:

"While a lower unemployment rate is welcome news, I remain concerned about our struggling economy.  Economic growth and job creation are my top priorities and will continue to be until every Nevadan who wants a job has one.  Congress should now focus on long-term economic policies that will help bolster recovery and provide businesses the certainty they need to create jobs."
