Leonard Boswell

Des Moines, IA – Congressman Leonard Boswell (IA-3) released the following statement after today’s report from the Department of Labor showed U.S. employers added 200,000 jobs and the unemployment rate fell to its lowest level in nearly 3 years.

“This is encouraging news which shows we’ve experienced 22 months of consecutive job growth in the private sector. The job market is steadily improving over nearly all major industries, but there is plenty of unfinished work to be done in Congress to pass job-creating legislation that will boost the economic recovery and strengthen our middle class. I am committed to doing just that in the new session.”
