When President Obama took office, the economy was losing 800,000 jobs per month. Today, we are in the midst of the longest streak of job growth on record. U.S. businesses have added 15.6 million jobs since early 2010. The unemployment rate has been cut by more than half from its peak. Rising home prices have brought millions of homeowners back above water. We’re less reliant on foreign oil than we have been in nearly three decades. We’ve cut our budget deficit by two-thirds as a share of the economy. Last year, the poverty rate fell by more than any year since 1968, and median household income rose at the fastest rate on record, with the typical family earning an additional $2,800. That’s a record of progress.
Uh, yeah, right. Whatever you say. I bet this blog discovers how horrible the economy is doing starting in February and it will all be Trump’s fault.
lolololololol
Rachel Maddow just said she thinks the media will die soon.
Lying BS articles like this one are a major reason why.
95% of them being part time or contract
Since Barky has been pResident, we have lost our healthcare because when we were working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, we had insurance...then BarkyCare went in and all the jobs were cut to ‘part time’ so the companies didn't have to pay for insurance, so that left us trying to get 2 to 4 jobs a day to put food on the table, rent, and insurance...and now we can't afford any insurance because the ‘part time’ jobs are now less and less because people wanted $15.00 an hour so the companies have ‘robots’ to order the food...cheaper, more dependable, and more efficiency they say...
So B.S. on this article...use it for toilet paper, fish wrap or bird cage liner...
One paragraph here and its chock full of lies.
While the number may be high, another mainstream publication showed that the vast majority of these jobs were part-time and temp jobs or gigs, not full-time employment jobs.
Poor Obama, he is desperately flailing his arms crying for attention and significance right before he is erased into oblivion by Trump.
Saying Obama has created 15 million jobs without the caveat that 95% are service industry/part time jobs is like saying the unemployment rate is 5%, without mentioning 90+ million have given up looking for work and are not part of the official count. Total delusional fabtasy...
A guy I knew in Seattle lost his high paying corporate sales job and, after 2 years, FINALLY found another job. He works the floor at Lowes.
i.e. there may be more jobs, but how much are they worth? if we lose one $100k job and create four minimum wage jobs, has there been jobs growth?
Those jobs are mostly part-time, of course, so let’s watch median income as those jobs become full time, and the 2nd part-time job many held to make ends meets are filled by the 60 to 90 MILLION who have been looking for work.
Obamamath.
Not mentioned is the 22.7 Million jobs lost during the same period; nor the new able-bodied workers joining the non-existing work force.
What is the net result?
About a 30 million loss.
We won't even mention the huge additional army on welfare. Financed by the money fairy.
It’s true, but you need to dig into the numbers. Many of those “jobs” are part time, with the same person holding 2-3 of them. Thanks Obamacare.
..."yeah, I believe Clinton created 22 million jobs...I've got 3 of them"
U.S businesses have added 15.6 million jobs since President Obama became president.

IF this is true, then how many were part time burger flipping jobs? Instead of real full time work?
We all know how the Obama Regime continuously lied as they under reported the unemployment numbers.
I’M calling for a ZOT.
Send in the kitties.
Of course they leave out the fact that 94.6% of the jobs “created” were part time.
And watch how 15.6 million jobs are lost on January 20.
