Posted on by Posted in california, Jobs, Jose Solorio, Labor, Lawyers, Santa Ana Leave a comment

Assemblyman Jose Solorio is at it again.  This time he has proposed a bill, AB 947, that would “cost the California workers’ compensation system an additional $200 to $210 million a year, a legislative fiscal analysis said,” according to the Sacramento Business Journal.

Currently, a California worker can receive payment for a temporary disability caused at work for 104 weeks within a five-year period. Solorio’s AB 947 would allow temporary disability benefits for up to 240 weeks – nearly five years, according to the O.C. Register. Continue reading→

Rep. Sanchez to host a Job Hunters Boot Camp in Garden Grove on June 29

Posted on by Posted in Business, Entertainment, Garden Grove, Jobs, Labor, Politics, Santa Ana 1 Comment

Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez is hosting a Job Hunters Boot Camp in Garden Grove on June 29.  Here are the details:

Dear Friend,

I am proud to report the economy has generated 760,000 private jobs in the past three months. In April alone, 268,000 new jobs were added to our economy- the most since February 2006. These job numbers are positive news for Orange County families and are proof that the economy is gradually getting stronger.

There’s still much to be done to ensure everyone who wants a job has a job. This Congress must refocus on new and innovative ways to create jobs in America. Job creation is the most pressing issue for American families, and I call on my colleagues to put partisan politics aside and work together to improve the economy, eliminate the national debt and strengthen the opportunities for all Americans to improve their economic security.

I have been a longtime champion of job creation through domestic manufacturing, export promotion, and high-tech research and development. I’m proud to support the Democratic ‘Make it in America’ Agenda, a collection of bills to strengthen American industry and help create jobs.

I’m also working to connect people in Orange County with the resources they need to find existing jobs. Next month, I’m hosting a Job Hunter’s Boot Camp at the Garden Grove Community Center. The Boot Camp will offer workshops to teach resume writing and interviewing skills, along with a one-on-one resume critique to help attendees fine-tune their resumes.

The program will also include resource tables from community agencies that may assist job seekers with various services. We’ll discuss growing, such as healthcare, hospitality and tourism, green jobs, and information technology, and I’ll discuss my work in Congress to stimulate the economy and promote job creation.

WHAT: Job Hunters Boot Camp

WHEN: Wednesday, June 29

9:00am – 2:00pm

WHERE: Garden Grove Community Center

11300 Stanford Ave.

Garden Grove, CA 92840

I am excited to see attendees connect with local resources that can help in their job searching efforts. To RSVP or for more information, please call (714) 621-0301 or email ca47rsvp@mail.house.gov.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts on job creation in America. As always, please feel free to contact me at my offices in Orange County and Washington, D.C. I look forward to hearing from you and, hopefully, visiting with you during my travels throughout Orange County.

Very Truly Yours,

Loretta Sanchez
Member of Congress

Rep. Sanchez reacts to March Jobs Report

Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez, Representing California’s 47th Congressional District

STATEMENT , FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 1, 2011
MEDIA CONTACT: Adrienne Watson 202-309-0825

REP. LORETTA SANCHEZ ON MARCH JOBS REPORT

WASHINGTON, D.C. –Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez (CA-47), member of the bicameral, bipartisan Joint Economic Committee, today issued the following statement regarding news that the unemployment rate continued to decline in March and the economy added 216,000 private sector jobs.

“Today’s jobs report shows that our nation’s job market continues to improve. This progress is more reason why Congress must strongly consider the serious job losses that would be caused by the Republicans’ proposed spending plan, which many analysts believe would hinder economic growth. My top priority in Congress is promoting legislation that enables the private sector to continue hiring more Americans, both in Orange County and across our country. I am committed to doing all I can to continue the positive economic trend we’ve seen over the past few months.”

Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez is proud to represent California’s 47th Congressional District, which includes the cities of Anaheim, Garden Grove, Santa Ana, and parts of Fullerton in Orange County. She serves as Ranking Member of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Strategic Forces and a senior member of the Committee on Homeland Security. Rep. Sanchez is also a member of the fiscally conservative Blue Dog Coalition and sits on the bipartisan, bicameral Joint Economic Committee.
