"Today's report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics provides fresh evidence that the labor market is strengthening and that we are on the path to economic recovery."
"We in Congress will continue working on policies that will help to create jobs so that we can continue this progress."
"Although the unemployment rate rose to 9.9 percent, the increase is due to re-entrants into the labor force, a sign of increased optimism about job prospects."
"This is not success, but as this chart shows we are trending, we are moving in the right direction."
