LITTLE TO PALLONE: WHERE ARE THE JOBS?!

((HIGHLANDS, October 22) – Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little – responding to the release of New Jersey’s unemployment figures for the month of September, showing that the state lost another 20,200 jobs, and the unemployment rate dipped two-tenths of a percent because so many working-age residents gave up on finding work and decided to leave the labor force – today asked her opponent, 22-year incumbent Frank Pallone, a simple question: “Where are the jobs? 

“Mr. Pallone, today I have just one simple question for you,” said Little. “Where are the jobs?!

 

“Today’s unemployment figures continue the disturbing trend we’ve seen over the last 20 months – New Jersey continues to lose jobs,” said Little. “In the month of September, New Jersey lost ANOTHER 20,200 jobs.

 

“That’s the worst jobs report in 18 months,” continued Little. “Not since March of 2009 has a New Jersey jobs report been this bad.

 

“Since the official end of the recession in June 2009 – well more than a year ago – New Jersey has LOST 62,400 jobs. It’s a sad state of affairs when the government deems a recession officially ‘over,’ but we continue to lose jobs.

 

“Worse, the unemployment rate in September declined from 9.6 percent to 9.4 percent – not because more people found work, but because more working-age residents have been out of work so long that they GAVE UP on finding work, and removed themselves from the job market,” continued Little.

 

“That’s a sad, sad commentary on the failure of the Pelosi-Pallone strategy. And it’s not what Frank Pallone and Nancy Pelosi promised when they rammed through their massive trillion-dollar ‘stimulus’ package – they promised, if you’ll recall, that unemployment wouldn’t go higher than 8 percent.

 

“The best thing the government can do is to lower tax rates and reduce regulation, and create an environment in which the entrepreneurs and job-creators in our nation will put their capital to work for all of us,” continued Little. “Instead, for the last 20 months we’ve gone in exactly the opposite direction. Nancy Pelosi and Frank Pallone have made clear their determination to raise taxes on the job-creating class, and have made clear their determination to keep borrowing money to pay for more failed ‘stimulus’ programs.

 

“It’s time for a change in direction.

 

“Remember, you cannot change Washington without changing the people we send to Washington!”

    Why isn’t Little asking the same question of our MIA Governor? Christie…where are the jobs? Maybe if he stayed in NJ for more than an hour, he might do something to help the unemployed instead of trying to bully the legislature, or demonize all teachers and state workers.

    So, I ask again, why hasn’t Little asked, no demanded, that Christie give an answer on what he has done for the unemployed here in NJ.

    Governor…where are the jobs?

    Rick ,She is not running against the Governor She is running against a man who really has taken full advantage of his position. In this dreadful economy he saw to it that his Wife Sarah Hospodor Pallone got a cozy job with a fancy title at the EPA her starting salary is $144,385.00. WELL SO MUCH FOR CREATING JOBS .

    She’s the Mayor of a town in NJ that will be laying off employees. Why hasn’t she asked that of the Governor? He should be doing something…anything to help get the NJ economy going, and he’s doing jack. She should be asking HIM that question instead of grandstanding.

    Get your head out your ass Henry and look at this for what it is….strictly granstand politics instead of actually wanting the answer. She could care less about jobs. If she did, she wouldnt’ be laying off 11, yes…11 township employees.
