WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus released the following statement on the November jobs report:

“While a downtick in the unemployment rate is welcome news, too many families are still falling behind and unemployment remains painfully high,” said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus. “Our number one priority must be getting struggling Americans back to work.

“That’s why America cannot afford President Obama’s agenda of more stifling regulation, tax increases and reckless spending. Republicans support commonsense policies to get our fiscal house in order so our economy can rebound. Government policies must be focused on unleashing economic growth–not on restricting it. These policies will foster job growth and improve the way of life for every American.”
