Statement by President John Sweeney on June Jobs Report
July 02, 2009

Workers can go to www.unemploymentlifeline.com for Assistance
 

The American economy shed another 467,000 jobs last month, bringing the total job loss since the recession began to 6.5 million.

Congress and the Obama administration need to continue to remain focused on stimulus efforts to end the recession.  Additionally, this is not just a problem in the United States, but at this stage, job loss is the vortex of the global economic crisis.  To address this problem we believe that all governments should focus an extra one percent of GDP stimulus focused on job creation.

To help America’s unemployed, the AFL-CIO and Working America have created the nation’s largest online resource for workers at www.unemploymentlifeline.com.
