(Washington, D.C.) – U.S. Senator Patty Murray released
the following statement today on the March employment figures released this
morning showing that our economy added 216,000 jobs last month:
“This is a welcome sign that we are moving in the
right direction, but also a reminder that we can’t take our foot off the gas.
We need to continue focusing on creating jobs through support for small
businesses, hiring incentives, and smart investments here at home in job
training and infrastructure.
“While this news may provide relief for some, it is
little comfort for those in Washington state who continue to look for work
after being out of a job for 6 months, a year, or more. Getting these workers
back on the job must continue to be priority number one.“
