Rep. Eric Cantor released the following statement on this morning’s news that the economy added 200,000 jobs in December:
While it is welcome news that more jobs were created in December, millions of Americans still can’t find work and small businesses are struggling to grow and hire. Giving small businesses confidence to expand, create jobs, and get people working again requires a long term solution for economic growth, not simply stops and starts. Going into the New Year, we must find areas of common ground and work together to deliver results on the most important issue facing our nation: the lack of long term job creation. We will continue fighting for small business men and women by making it easier for them to expand, invest and hire new workers.
