                     REPUBLICAN SOLUTIONS FOR JOBS

  (Mrs. WALORSKI asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. WALORSKI. Last week's jobs report was yet another stark reminder 
that our economy has far from recovered. Nearly 12 million Americans 
remain out of work, and 4.4 million people have been out of work for 6 
months or more; and these are more than just numbers that come out of 
some monthly Bureau of Labor statistics. These are our fellow 
Americans. These are our friends and our family. These are our 
neighbors and our kids. These are the folks next door. And they--each 
and every one of them--deserve better.
  House Republicans have passed legislation that helps working families 
maintain that crucial work-life balance. We've passed a long-term fix 
to the student loan programs to make life better for our recent grads.
  These are real solutions, and they're all a part of the House 
Republican plan to create jobs and secure our future.
