Congress’s First Priority Should be Job Creation

'Congress’s first priority should be job creation and restoring opportunity through work for the millions who remain unemployed. Yet Congress has made an uphill climb for the long-term unemployed even steeper.  Before they leave for summer recess, our elected representatives need to undo the unnecessary and damaging mess they’ve created and repeal the sequester. '
