Reid on June unemployment: ‘Disappointing… job creation must be top priority’
Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., reacting to today's report that Nevada's unemployment rose to 12.4 percent in June, said this in a statement:
“After five months of decreasing unemployment in Nevada, today’s report is disappointing and a clear indication that job creation must continue to be the top priority. Unfortunately, Republicans in Washington have their priorities upside down, supporting the so-called ‘Cut, Cap and Balance Act’ that not only kills Medicare and undermines Social Security, but will destroy nearly one million jobs nationwide. We need to work together to create good paying jobs in the state -- not pursue an ideological agenda that will send more Nevadans to the unemployment lines.”
