EDISON - N.J. Senator Barbara Buono (D-Middlesex) issued a statement in response to the New Jersey Department of Labor’s employment report for March 2012. The report shows the private sector lost 11,600 jobs with an overall loss of 8,600 jobs across the state.
“The jobs report from NJDOL underscores how fragile New Jersey’s economic recovery is. Unemployment remained stalled at 9.0 percent for March, still higher than the national average and the highest in the region. Now an additional 11,600 private sector jobs are off the books. These recent job losses represent opportunities lost for our unemployed residents,” Buono said.
“We must work together to create opportunities for job growth instead of seeing the governor veto and in the process, ridicule jobs bills passed at the end of the legislative session by referring to them as a “pile of crap”.
“This slackening of job creation in the private sector should serve as a clarion call to the governor to hold his fire before vetoing bills and refrain from deriding the Legislature’s credible initiatives to lift job growth and grow the economy.
Given the recent precipitous job loss in the private sector I urge the governor to reconsider his vetoes of the Legislature’s jobs creation package when these bills reach his desk again this legislative session.”

The ARC tunnel project would have made a big difference so long as there was a management team in place that was anti corruption and anti patronage.
How many jobs were LOST when Fort Monmouth was closed, despite the "best" efforts of our two wonderful senators. Great job you two do nothings.
anti corruption and anti patronage, come on this is NJ, get real...
Thank the great "decider" and his crack staff for the closing of Fort Monmouth. I guess the losses of 911 were not enough of a price to pay for the election of GW.
