Governor Schwarzenegger Issues Statement on Unemployment Rate
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger issued the following statement today regarding the unemployment rate:
"The entire nation continues to suffer through a slow economy that is affecting jobs and families here in California, which is why I am working with legislators to include a needed economic stimulus package within our state budget.
"Construction and financial services continue to struggle in California, but I am encouraged about recent increases in housing purchases and that other job sectors - while they do not have the robust growth we want or expect in California - are holding steady."
