Of course, an unemployment rate of 9.7 percent is unacceptably high and we need to achieve robust employment growth in order to recover from the terrible job losses that began over two years ago. That is why it is essential that Congress pass additional responsible measures to promote job creation.
I pay attention to this stuff, and I don't know what "additional responsible measures" the White House actually wants Congress to pass. The $15 billion "jobs" bill is pretty much a joke, so... what else?
