                              JOB CREATION

  (Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
discuss a very important matter, job creation.
  2010 has shown that America is slowly getting back to its feet in 
terms of recovery. The newest job numbers indicate that over 419,000 
jobs were created last month. According to a recent Associated Press 
release, Texas has the greatest amount of job creation in 2010.
  Texas employers expanded payrolls by 43,600 during the month of May, 
making it the State's largest monthly gain in more than 3 years. 
Companies like American Airlines, AT&T, and Texas Instruments are 
creating jobs in my district because north Texas is a good place to do 
business.
  As a country, we are getting stronger and stronger, but we still have 
a long ways to go. We must continue to invest in American businesses 
and in the American people. I urge my colleagues both in the House and 
Senate to come together to enact policies that create and encourage job 
creation.
