The U.S. Department of Labor reported that new hires are the highest in 17 years! Even with record new hires this month there are 6.6 million job vacancies: a good “problem” to have. We're working on legislation to help close the #JobsGap with the #JOBSforSuccessAct.
SOON: Chairman Rep. Kevin Brady will be on Washington Post Live “The Six-Month Report” to discuss the good news we’ve seen since #TaxReform became law.

It is a true honor to have Sam Johnson as a member of the Ways and Means committee. At his portrait unveiling in the committee room today we heard from his friends, fellow servicemen, and colleagues about his integrity, bravery, and love for his family and country. Thank you, Chairman Sam Johnson, for your service!
Before he was the 41st president of the United States, George H.W. Bush represented Texas’ 7th congressional district and served as a member on the Ways & Means Committee. A very Happy Birthday to him as he turns 94 today! We’re lucky to have him as a W&M alum.
PASSED: The JOBS for Success Act – approved by W&M today – is a key welfare reform bill that will help get more Americans currently on the sidelines into a good job – to strengthen American communities, American small businesses, and American families.
