"It's hard to see the wisdom of a cut like that when the real unemployment rate really is close to 16 percent in this country."

"too many workers are unemployed or underemployed, and more needs to be done to ensure that all Americans benefit from economic growth, not just the few at the top."

"We maintained important investments in employment and training programs, worker protections, and the fight against the worst forms of child labor."
