{snip]The Bureau of Labor Statistics announced Friday that the U.S. economy added 164,000 jobs in April, pushing the unemployment rate down to 3.9 percent, the lowest since 2000.
When asked on CNNs New Day if Jarrett gives Trump credit for that, she deferred to giving Obama credit for starting the trend.
Look, I think we have to look at it over a longer horizon than that, she said. If you think about what the economy was like when President Obama took office, we were losing 750,000 jobs a month. Under his watch, the unemployment rate dropped in half and its encouraging to see that were continuing to make progress.

Give Obama credit for arming and nuking up Iran via the theft of taxpayers money in the deal and the corruption he instilled in every agency in DC including Congress.
For the record, called this 7 years ago. everything the obamites forked up was the last guy. everything the next guy fixed would be them.
The only real accomplishment of Obama was to make Jimmah Carter smile at no longer being the worst president in American history.
She’s right...after 8 yrs, he made people stop looking and lose hope, so the social engineers removed them from the eligible workforce could and the rate dropped.
The U6 number is the only one that matters.
She should be hanged...Commie traitor...I want her expelled to Iran.
I’ll give him credit:
The 0bozo made it plain from the start that he would shut down the coal industry . . . wanted nothing to do with the pipeline. . . the steel industry, ETC....
All this contributed to union members turning their backs on Dims and voting for Donald Trump.
Other than that, I give 0bozo credit for destruction with a smile.
BTW if the unemployment rate dropped, it was only because people were dropped from the rolls and / or got part-time jobs and were no longer counted as unemployed.
Agree, Obama set it up with years of strangulation and then he made it possible for a tax cutter to win the office.
The combination has contributed to the upward growth in the economy since Obama left, and the downward pressure on unemployment. Also since Obama left.
The key to this is that Obama left. Of course, he could have left sooner, but that would have given us Romney and he would not have cut the tax in the same way, since he is a globalist. Thus Obama had to stay in for his full two terms. Thank you Obama (/s)
Yeah, unemployment dropped under Obama because a record number of people dropped out of the workforce and:
A record 43.6 million people participated in the program, as of April 2016 a figure that translates into a 70 percent rise since 2008.
A record ten million more people claimed disability under Obama.
The Obama administration simply stopped counting people who had dropped out of the workforce.
It’s a good thing Valerie Jarett is a neutral observer. That makes it easy to see she has no bias in her opinion.

I give him credit for inadvertently getting Trump elected.
Oh, and I give secondary credit to all the Bush League Republicans...
Doesn't she still live in the Kenyan Usurper's multi-million dollar DC mansion?
If I recall she lives in his colon.
December of 2008 we lost 750,000 jobs, but it was mainly because OBAMA HAD JUST BEEN ELECTED. And that was only one month.
Companies were unwilling to hire because they feared the disaster Obama was going to bring to the economy. They were right.
Unemployment remained dismal until Obama was out of office, replaced by Trump, who began to Make America Great Again.
So whenever any Democrat says 750,000 jobs per month lost, you can scream "Bullsh1t!"
Obama...who dat? Aw.....he was just some low life Kenyan that hated the American people, the American nation and the American Republic. Democrat, Obama...gone and quickly forgotten forever!!!
Correction to my post: A record 43.6 million people participated in the FOOD STAMP program, as of April 2016 a figure that translates into a 70 percent rise since 2008.
She resembles some kind of demonic, possessed being. Or one of those Reptilian creatures people talk about.
I think what bothers me most about some people is that they see people like Obama, Hillary, Jarrett, Brennan, Schumer, et al and are unable to discern that something is badly wrong with those people.
And, for instance, if they discover that Hillary is a vile creature and a criminal, they don’t care.
A record 43.6 million people participated in the program, as of April 2016 a figure that translates into a 70 percent rise since 2008.
A record ten million more people claimed disability under Obama.
The Obama administration simply stopped counting people who had dropped out of the workforce.
Obama stuck 7 million Americans on extended unemployment and then enrolled them in Social Security Long Term Disability directly off of unemployment . Most have not worked in 8 years and many will never go back as they are now eligible for Social Security retirement
State sanctioned welfare fraud.
Obama doing his best Cloward-Piven.
While we’re at it, don’t forget Millard Fillmore. Lol.
If it weren’t for the Fed flooding the market with money, the economy would have collapsed under Obama.
