Mr. Speaker, the government brags about stale job numbers that are three and four and five years old, nothing more recent.
Job growth and job quality have been dropping. In all of last year, there were just 121,000 new jobs in the whole country. That is down 60% from two years ago. Job quality is at a 25-year low, and economic growth is pathetic. In fact, the economy has grown only once in the last four months.
Why is the government's plan such an utter failure, and why does it not have a job creation target?
