Obama: Congress Needs to Help Rehire Teachers
VOA News
June 09, 2012
U.S. President Barack Obama says the failure by Congress to act on his jobs bill is preventing teachers from being rehired.
During his weekly address Saturday, Obama said over the past three years, 250,000 teachers have lost their jobs. He says approval of his jobs bill would help states rehire more teachers and prevent more layoffs as budgets are being tightened.
President Obama says putting teachers back in the classroom is one of the steps to help grow the U.S. economy.
