On the eve of the release of new unemployment data, Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas), who serves as the senior House Republican on the Joint Economic Committee, criticized President Barack Obama Thursday for failing to adequately revive the employment situation in the private sector through the Recovery Act.

"9% of ... job loss has been in the private sectors," said Brady during a telephone conference with reporters. "The only jobs that have [been] gained have been in the government sector."

Brady noted nearly 4 million private sectore jobs have been lost since the passage of the Recovery Act.
