Cahill Statement on Unemployment Rate

 

 

“The latest unemployment numbers are indicative that Massachusetts is not ‘on the mend and on the move’ as Governor Patrick claims. The fact of the matter is that unemployment has doubled since the Governor took office and there are still nearly 11,000 more Massachusetts residents who are unemployed now than there were a year ago. If the Governor thinks this is a success, then we have a long way to go for getting the 312,300 residents who are still unemployed back to work,” said Massachusetts State Treasurer and Independent candidate for Governor Timothy P. Cahill.
