Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., reacting to today's report that Nevada's unemployment rate fell to 12.6 percent in December, said this in a statement:
"We continue to see signs of progress in Nevada's economy, but far too many workers are still struggling to find jobs in our state. We must work together in Congress to pass a year-long extension of the payroll tax cut to keep dollars in the pockets of middle-class families who need them most. It shouldn't be a fight to pass common-sense, job-creating policies like the payroll tax cut, or to rebuild our roads, schools and bridges. I won't rest until every Nevadan who wants a job has one, and I urge Republicans to put politics aside to work with us so Nevadans can get back to work."
