A campaign that can't answer its own yes-or-no questionsFROM THE GEORGEWBUSH.COM JOBS AND THE ECONOMY FAQ:
Does the President support another Unemployment Insurance extension?The Administration has extended Federal unemployment benefits three times, providing over $23 billion to help 7.8 million American workers. Over the last 10 months, we have seen over 1.5 million jobs created, and the unemployment rate has fallen from its peak of 6.3 percent last June to 5.6 percent this year, and we expect that trend to continue. The Administration will continue to work with Congress on this issue.
Does the President support a minimum wage increase?
New jobs are being created. The economy has added over 1.5 million jobs since August. The President is focused on policies that will keep the economy growing.
The Administration will continue to work with Congress to study the various minimum wage proposals.
