Shipley Disappointed by June Jobs Report The June Jobs Report is out and the numbers aren’t good. The Labor Department announced Friday that only 80,000 jobs had been added last month and the unemployment rate remains at 8.2%. This is the third straight month the country has seen weak unemployment numbers. TN State Representative Tony Shipley says that though the report is troubling, he remains cautiously optimistic by the job outlook in Tennessee. He also says that during his four years as a State Representative, he has held East TN up as an example to the rest of the state as an area that knows how to create the environment needed for job growth.
