**Top Story - Booming economy creates
another 266,000 jobs! **
The November jobs report is out and boy is it
encouraging. Another 266,000 Americans found a job, and our nation's
unemployment rate fell to its lowest point since 1969. Just as good, wages
continued to go UP.
The low-tax, reduced regulation policies
established since 2017 have been pivotal to our surging economy, and I am
glad to support them.
As we approach the Christmas season, knowing many
of our family members and neighbors are finding good-paying jobs is
something we can all celebrate.

**My bill to increase paid
family leave**
This week I introduced my bipartisan paid leave
legislation [link 1] to help families have the flexibility to stay home with
their new child during those most crucial first few months.
While the
Family Medical Leave Act guarantees eligible parents unpaid leave, many
cannot afford to take the full 12 weeks. This bill helps them do just
that.
Under the plan, families would have the option of receiving up
to a $5,000 advance on their Child Tax Credit to help cover lost wages
or any other expense related to the birth or adoption of a new
child.
**Tax Cuts and Jobs Act - Did you Know?**
A new report this week
from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development indicated
that the United States has the third lowest tax burden among member
countries.
The *Wall Street Journal* noted that the *Tax Cuts and Jobs
Act* was a major reason the tax burden on American families and job
creators has fallen.
More than just a stat, the tax relief from the
2017 law has empowered families from every part of our country to keep
more of what they earned and has jumpstarted our
economy.
