Sen. Harry Reid Discusses Democrats' Jobs Agenda

Leading Senate Democrats announced a new agenda to focus on job creation Thursday, with the first votes for additional job legislation scheduled as soon as next Monday.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said he hoped the Monday vote would move forward with bipartisan support, though he declined to offer details of what the legislation would include.

"Our jobs agenda will help small businesses thrive, make our homes and buildings more energy efficient, invest in improving roads and bridges and put more police on the streets and teachers in the classrooms," he said. "Senate Democrats are focused on putting people back to work and keeping our economy on the right track."
