Yes, it's bad; We need a federal jobs program NOW!



People at the grassroots know what Congress and the White House still don't get: the lack of jobs is a real crisis, and we need bold, emergency action to create millions of good jobs.

This current recession is WORSE than any other post-war recession, but too many politicians and pundits are shrugging and telling communities to wait. Even the "Local Jobs for America Act", supported by NA4J and hundreds of other groups, which would save/create a million jobs, is only a first step to closing the 11 million job deficit.

On May 17, many groups are marching on K Street in DC to challenge the bankers that wrecked our economy and break their grip on Congress as a necessary step toward winning good jobs and a new economy that works for everyone.
