President Barack Obama made a statement on the economy from the White House on Friday afternoon where he argued the latest jobs number show the economy is continuing to recover from the financial crisis.

"The good news is the economy clearly is getting stronger things are getting better," said Obama.

Obama highlighted the fact the country has seen a "six month streak with at least 200,000 new jobs each month."

"That's the first time that's happened since 1997," he said.

Obama described this as part of "the longest streak of private sector job creation in our history."

OBAMA: ‘The Economy Is Clearly Getting Stronger’

And you are clearly an idiot...
Having 2 or 3 part time jobs to replace the full time with benefits jobs you lost is not a recovery. The 10 workers left to carry what 16 workers carried having to work overtime might be nice for a while but it has its costs not to mention the loss of 6 workers. This is the new economy that is YOUR fault!

I can’t find that, would like to know.

Last month’s gain, tho, was exclusively part time. 800,000 new part time jobs offsetting a loss of 525,000 full time jobs.

It reminds me of this.

Fear is freedom.
Control is liberty.
Contradiction is truth.
That is the reality of this world!
Listen well, you pigs in human clothing,
and submit to that reality!

America will come back strong despite Obama.
The economy is too big for even him to kill doing his worst.
Employment costs are steadily increasing in foreign countries and manufacturing will be coming back to America, you can predict which states.

Obama did his best to strangle oil exploration and revenue still exploded off the chart with fracking innovation.
If a new president opens it up the energy export from this country will be spectacular.

They raise the cost of employment with Obamacare and minimum wage increase, so the recovery will be a relatively jobless one. They’d harp on that if it was a republican in charge.

From a man who has never worked at a real job a day in his life, who has had everything handed to him, who lives like a parasite king on the backs of hard working Americans and who couldn’t tell you the price of one item in an entire supermarket.

Didn’t I read recently that 1) these are part-time jobs 2) 90+% of them had gone to immigrants/illegals?

Yes, the economy is getting better for golf course maintenance crews and ice cream and hot dog vendors.

Shock: 80% of U.S. population growth is from immigrants, resources being sucked dry

School starts here in TN and many places on Monday, the people the city and county laid off over the summer will go back to work, that accounts for the slight up tick in jobs. Then we head into the Christmas prep season, and Christmas sales season temp hiring that ends in Jan of 2015 after people are done returning those unwanted gifts.
