RE: how many jobs created?

We don’t have those figures yet.

However, we do know that the number of people who’ve been out of work for more than six months has surged during this recession to a record 6.8 million in May, accounting for 46% of the 15 million people officially classified as unemployed, according to monthly data previously released.

10% unemployment is the “new normal” for the Baraqqi era.

And I guess new graduates are not counted in the unemployment figures, because you have to be at a job first before you can file for unemployment benefits and be counted.

That’s 2 million newly unemployed, living at home with Mom and Dad. Welcome to Obamanation.
