Oregon Not Alone
Bush Tax Cuts Fail to Provide Promised Job Growth in 47 States
State-by-state data released today by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that job growth in Oregon and most other states lags far behind what was projected by the Bush Administration when it lobbied for the 2003 “Jobs and Growth” tax cuts.
