This shows the real picture.
Under Bush's last four years, the labor force grew by some 8 million people, but the labor force participation rate held steady.
Under Obozo, it only grew by a million, yet still crashed and continues crashing.
The unemployment numbers are lies. The simple fact is that over 4 million jobs have been lost under Obama.
Not to mention, record numbers on Food Stamps and Disability.
To see the truth, look at the Bureau of Labor Statistics "Labor Force Participation Rate". Even counting useless, parasitic government jobs, there are 4,500,000 less jobs in America than when Obama took office.
