Carolyn Maloney

I appreciate the gentleman's statement. As he knows, this is an issue that many of us in a bipartisan way have worked on for many years. As you know, my original bill did create an independent Office of the Census, which by definition…

I rise in strong support of the DREAM Act and urge all of my colleagues to vote for this important bill. I rise today in support of the American DREAM Act, bipartisan legislation that would provide a path to legal status for undocumented…

We have made progress during the past year of the Obama Administration by adding almost 1.2 million private-sector jobs.

Compare that to the 8 years of former President Bush, when this country lost 663,000 private-sector jobs.

Last night the unemployment benefits expired for 2 million Americans, including over 159,000 New Yorkers and 95,000 residents of New York City. The Joint Economic Committee, which I chair, released a report that finds that there could be…

The facts and the numbers in the new JEC report make it clear that extending this program benefits those who need our help most, benefits the larger economy, and thus benefits us all. I urge a ``yes'' vote on this bill.

Madam Speaker, the Joint Economic Committee, which I chair, released a report today that finds that if Congress fails to extend the Federal unemployment insurance benefits program, the unintended consequences could be extremely serious…

Today's Employment Report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows the economy added 50,000 private sector jobs last month.

As the first woman chair of the Joint Economic Committee, I have asked the Majority staff to prepare a comprehensive overview of women and the economy.

I am urging all Members in a bipartisan way on both sides of the aisle to put politics aside and to honor and respect the sacrifice made by so many Americans on 9/11. I thank the leadership on both sides of the aisle, particularly Speaker…

Today we are considering a bill that is overwhelmingly supported by the American people. The James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, which I offered along with the entire New York delegation, will provide needed health care for…

The time to pass the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act is now. It is bipartisan. It is patriotic. And it is overwhelmingly supported by Americans across this country. James Zadroga's father is with us today, as well as many…

I strongly support and rise in support of the rule. The time is now to pass the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, legislation that is overwhelmingly supported by Americans across our country. This is not a New York issue. Our…

I rise in strong support of H.R. 1631, a resolution calling for the protection of religious sites and artifacts in Turkish-occupied areas of northern Cyprus. This year we marked the 36th anniversary of the Turkish invasion and continuing…

I am proud to be the co-sponsor of the Paycheck Fairness Act, which passed the House earlier this session, and I hope that the Senate will soon act on it.

Women's work is crucial for family economic well-being, particularly in these rough economic times.

Just last week the Senate passed and the President signed into law an important bill that we passed in the House earlier, a $30 billion loan fund for small businesses.

Women earn just 77 cents on the dollar as compared to men--for doing the same work.

Since President Obama took office, we have been moving in the right direction. It is not success, but it is definitely progress.

If President Obama and the Democrats had not taken the steps that they did to start moving our economy in the right direction, this country would have lost an additional 8.5 million jobs.

The pay gap for women in management shrank by just 2 cents from 2000 to 2007.

The Small Business Jobs and Credit Act of 2010 (H.R. 5297) will strengthen our current economic recovery, by strengthening our small businesses. This legislation is sorely needed to bolster our small firms, which have lagged their larger…

It is widely understood that one of the biggest problems facing our economy now is the fact that small businesses cannot get loans. And small business owners tell me every week from across my district they are not hiring because they…

America cannot afford to go back to the policies of the prior Administration where we were shedding so many jobs.

I think that is critically important given the fragile economy we are confronting.
