This past week, Congress failed to pass unemployment insurance - TopicsExpress



          

This past week, Congress failed to pass unemployment insurance leaving more than 1.3 million long-term unemployed Americans -- 90,000+ of whom live in New Jersey-- out in the cold without support as they work to get back on their feet. If we don’t act right now and fail to renew benefits for this year the amount of people affected will grow to more than 4.9 million across the US, and nearly triple in New Jersey. The fact is that if we extend UI benefits, it helps us all. If we let them expire, we arent just hurting the most vulnerable. Were hurting small businesses and local economies. Non-partisan studies prove that UI saves jobs and helps spur growth. Stand with me and fight to extend unemployment insurance: corybooker/act/unemployment-insurance
