Whereas over six months into the 112th Congress and no 
jobs creation legislation has been considered on the 
House floor despite the introduction of over 40 bills by 
members of the Congressional Black Caucus (‘‘CBC’’); 
Whereas the unemployment numbers throughout the country 
mandate legislative, tangible action to address the crisis; 
Whereas the reported unemployment numbers in the African- 
American community are hovering over sixteen percent 
and in the double digits in other communities of color in 
these United States; 
Whereas for 40 years the CBC has introduced legislation for 
the people and has served as the unwavering ‘‘Conscience 
of the Congress’’; 
Whereas the CBC recently launched the ‘‘For the People’’ 
Jobs Initiative to directly address the lack of jobs for 
people of color by holding job fairs and town hall meet-
ings throughout the country in areas hardest hit by the 
recession; and 
Whereas, to address the unemployment crisis and the need 
for job creation solutions in underserved communities, 
the CBC has called upon the private and public sectors 
to immediately remedy the crisis by going into commu-
nities with legitimate, immediate employment opportuni-
ties for the underserved: Now, therefore be it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that Congress should—

address the crisis facing communities of color dis-
proportionately; and
