"Instead of going to California to support
the 'Terminator', Governor Romney should stay here and stop the
termination of jobs in Massachusetts," said Massachusetts Democratic
Party Chair Phil Johnston in response to today's release of the
August unemployment figures. "What's he going to do in California,
instruct Arnold Schwarzenegger on the fine art of terminating jobs
for working men and women?"
"The loss of 8,200 jobs in the last month stands
in stark contrast to the promises made by the 'Jobs Governor', who
last year pledged to create thousands of new jobs in the state,"
Johnston added.
"Month after month, the employment news
in this state appears more desperate. In July, the state lost more
than 9,000 jobs - second only to Texas, the home state of another
administration presiding over the worst national economy in decades.
Candidate Romney pledged to use his business skills to rebuild the
economy and create jobs. My question is: What's he waiting for?
In one year, more than 45,000 jobs have vanished from this state.
That is an immense loss which impacts more than the economy; it
directly affects families and the communities in which they live."
