Soon this Chamber will have a chance to continue our work on a positive job-creating initiative when H.R. 4213 comes to the floor. This bill will work to restore credit for the small businesses who hire the bulk of the American workers. It will allow funding for summer jobs programs for many of our youth that are unemployed and are seeking jobs during the summer. It will also help to close tax loopholes to fully fund job creation and enforce corporate accountability. This bill continues to provide aid to our brothers and sisters and unions who have been hit hard over the past year because of the outsourcing by the previous administrative policies. Unemployment is still high. Americans still need support from the government, and we continue to rebound from this crisis. But the signs are there. We're recovering. Last month, we added 290,000 jobs--the most since March of 2006. We need to continue this good work and put the American people back to work. This is why I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 4213.
