The House of Representatives passed another jobs bill today. It aims to provide tax relief for small businesses and create bonds to help local governments fund infrastructure projects. It is one in a string of jobs bills passed by Congress to bring down historically high unemployment rates, including the HIRE act, which was signed into law by the President last week. But despite these bills, black leaders say Congress and the President need to do more to stimulate job growth in minority communities. FSRN’s Matt Pearson reports.
