Republicans are pinning the blame on President Barack Obama after the monthly jobs report showed that gains fell significantly in March, coming in below the expectations of most forecasters and breaking a yearlong streak of job creation.
The economy added just 126,000 net new jobs in March, and January and February's job gains were revised downward by 69,000 jobs. The unemployment rate held steady at 5.5 percent.
House Speaker John Boehner issued a statement saying that the president has obstructed Republican efforts to create jobs, most recently vetoing a measure that would protect the rights of small businesses and workers.
He added in a tweet:
