              THE URGENT NEED FOR JOB CREATION IN AMERICA

  (Mr. McNERNEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. McNERNEY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to discuss the urgent need 
to create jobs in America.
  Millions of Americans have lost their jobs through no fault of their 
own, and finding a job now is as hard as it has been in generations. 
Our country needs decisive action, and we need it now.
  Earlier this week, the President submitted the American Jobs Act to 
Congress, and I ask my colleagues in both parties to put partisanship 
aside and work together to create jobs our country desperately needs. 
Many of the proposals included in the American Jobs Act enjoy 
bipartisan support, and I call on Speaker Boehner and Leader Cantor to 
work together in good faith to bring forward good jobs proposals from 
both parties to Congress.
  We won't have an economic recovery without putting people back to 
work.
