Berger Statement on Employment Numbers

Senate President Pro Tempore Phil Berger (R-Rockingham) on Friday responded to political pandering by North Carolina Democrats regarding the July employment numbers released by the Employment Security Commission.

“The only solutions Bev Perdue and other liberals have proposed to create jobs are more taxes and more government spending – the same failed policies that drove our state into a financial ditch.  Even with unemployment rates in double digits, Perdue is recklessly fighting for higher taxes and $360 million in new entitlements.  The private sector will lead us out of the Obama-Perdue economy, and we’re confident the tax relief in our budget will continue to help North Carolina’s job creators put people back to work.”
