WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.) released the following statement on the March employment figures released Friday morning:
“With unemployment down to 8.8 percent – the lowest point in two years – and 230,000 private-sector jobs created in March, I’m encouraged by the progress of our economic recovery,” Senator Coons said. “We’ve now seen 13 straight months of private-sector job growth, but there is still much more work to do to rebuild our economy. Congress needs to stay focused on nurturing an economic climate that encourages American businesses to grow and create jobs, putting more of our neighbors back to work.”
