Last week Congressman Delaney voted for bipartisan legislation to improve America’s business climate and encourage more job creation. Delaney voted for the Jobs for America Act, which passed the House in a 253-163 vote.
Delaney discussed the legislation with WFMD Radio:
Even though the economy is growing, Delaney says it’s doing so at a slow rate. “By any measure, the economy has improved and it’s improved materially since the recession and the financial crisis,” he says. “But if you objectively look, you see that we’re not growing at a growth rate that’s equal to the historical growth rate of the country.”
In addition, Delaney says the country is not creating enough good jobs. “We’re increasingly creating only two types of jobs; high skilled, high pay jobs; low skilled, low pay jobs. And we’re not creating the middle skill, middle class jobs that have so long been the anchor of this economy and this country.”
