Despite adding a net total of 200,000 jobs, U.S. Rep. Dave Camp was less than pleased with the December jobs report. "Despite today’s stronger than normal jobs report, the fact that the unemployment rate remains this high this long after the Obama Administration's so-called stimulus program makes it clear that Washington is standing in the way of sustained, strong economic growth," Camp, Chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means, said in a release. The U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics said the December unemployment rate was 8.5 percent, the lowest it has been in nearly three years, but Camp said it marks the 35 consecutive month of unemployment above 8 percent.
