Reid Urges Bipartisan Cooperation On Growing Economy

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid ( D-Nev.) called the latest unemployment figures “encouraging,” and took a swipe at Republicans for putting repealing healthcare reform ahead of creating jobs.

“Today’s news that unemployment fell nearly half a percent is an encouraging sign that our economy is continuing to recover. But families…around the country are still struggling,” Reid said in a statement. “That’s why I urge my Republican colleagues to join us to create jobs, instead of wasting time with pointless, symbolic votes and yesterday’s battles.”
