President Barack Obama said a report showing businesses added workers last month is a “good sign” for the economy as he urged Congress to act on measures to help boost job creation.
In remarks after the Labor Department reported yesterday that private companies added 71,000 jobs last month, less than forecast, Obama said more needs to be done to accelerate growth. He made a plea for congressional action on his proposal to provide more loans and tax incentives to small businesses.
