Every year, Chuck commits to traveling to all62 counties in New York to meet with constituents.
On February 8, 2010, Schumer met with local businesses and unemployed workers to discuss his new bipartisan \"Hire Now Tax Cut\" proposal to provide businesses that hire unemployed workers with a tax cut. Schumer has joined with Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) to offer a tax cut to businesses that hire a worker that had been without work for at least 60 days prior to employment. The businesses will avoid paying the employer's share of Social Security taxes on that worker for the duration of 2010. For further information on Chuck Schumer please visit www.schumer.senate.gov
