                            ECONOMIC UPDATE

  (Mrs. DAHLKEMPER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. DAHLKEMPER. Mr. Speaker, when I was sworn into office in January 
of last year, our economy was on the verge of collapse. Thanks to 
decisive action in Congress, our economy is turning around. We have 
created half a million jobs so far in 2010. Our country is on track to 
create more jobs this year than we created in the entire eight years of 
the Bush administration.
  In western Pennsylvania, our strong work ethic is driving our 
recovery. Companies like Talisman Energy and Kold-Draft Industries are 
creating new jobs in my district because western Pennsylvania is a good 
place to do business. Things are improving, but we still have a long 
way to go. We must continue to invest in American businesses and the 
American people.
  I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to work together so 
we can help create jobs, support our businesses, and further our 
recovery.
