Statement by Secretary Gutierrez on July’s Employment Report
Washington (Aug. 1)—Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez today released the following statement on the July Employment Report, which showed that the unemployment rate is 5.7 percent: “We are not happy with today’s report that shows the economy lost jobs. It is difficult any time someone loses a job, but we continue to see the impact of the stimulus package proposed by the President and passed by bipartisan majorities in Congress. In the face of significant challenges, exports are booming, consumer spending is stronger, and we have highly competitive and productive workers.” (More) (Fact Sheet)
