On the recordFebruary 3, 1994
think-tank experts say the economy is getting strong. Let us check this out. Armco cut 1,000 jobs; Apple cut 2,500 jobs; General Electric dropped 5,000 workers. At Builders Emporium, 4,900 lost their jobs; AT&T dropped 4,000; at Johnson & Johnson, 3,000 lost their jobs; at Delta, 3,000; and at Continental, 3,000. At United Technologies, 11,000 lost their jobs; at McDonnell-Douglas, 9,000; Boeing, 2,400; at IBM, 3,500; at General Motors, 50,000; at Sears, 50,000; and at Kodak & Eastman, 400,000. I have one question, Mr. Speaker. If this is all happening and all these jobs are being created, who is doing the hiring? Dr. Kevorkian? Ronald McDonald? I think it is Uncle Sam. I would like to say one thing about these experts, Mr. Speaker. I think none of these experts ever stood in an unemployment line. Mr. Speaker, it is time for Congress to deal with the real four-letter word--jobs.
