C'mon libs, defend Obama's record on jobs and his ability to always try and skewer the numbers about jobs created / jobs saved - and face facts that his stimulus didn't do shit for the jobs!
1.9 Million Fewer Americans Have Jobs Today Than When Obama Signed Stimulus
Twenty-eight months after Congress passed President Obama’s signature economic stimulus law, and nearly one year after he declared the summer of 2010 to be “Recovery Summer,” 1.9 million fewer people are employed.
In February 2009, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that 141.7 million people were employed. By the end of May 2011 – the last month for which data are available – that number had fallen to 139.8 million, a difference of 1.9 million.
While the number of people with jobs has increased slightly from its low point during the recession – 137.9 million in December 2009 – those 1.9 million jobs have been lost despite $800 billion in stimulus spending.
