“The addition of 287,000 jobs in June is fantastic news for our economy. It is clear that we are on the right track and continue to recover from the Great Recession. The policies of President Obama and the Democratic leadership in Congress, along with the business community, are putting Americans back to work.
“But we should not be completely satisfied. There is still work that business and government leaders need to do. Wages need to rise further. All working Americans need to be able to enjoy economic stability. And the gender wage gap must be eliminated once and for all, so women can earn the same dollar that men do for the same work.
“We have seen that since World War II the economy has consistently performed better when a Democrat is in the White House. We are witnessing a great recovery from a terrible time. It is incumbent upon us to continue the policies that have created this recovery so that all may benefit.”
