"We can't afford a third-term Obama," reads on-screen text in the video while ominous music plays in the background.
The video highlights
a jobs report from May that showed the U.S. had added just 38,000 jobs. However, job numbers surged the next month to 287,000 jobs in the June report.[out of how many million unemployed?]

The job numbers probably surged in June because of
all those "lawn-care" jobs!
The Big Lie: 5.6% Unemployment
None of them will tell you this:
If you, a family member or anyone is unemployed and has subsequently given up on finding a job -- if you are so hopelessly out of work that you've stopped looking over the past four weeks -- the Department of Labor doesn't count you as unemployed. That's right. While you are as unemployed as one can possibly be, and tragically may never find work again, you are not counted in the figure we see relentlessly in the news -- currently 5.6%. Right now,
as many as 30 million Americans are either out of work or severely underemployed.
Yet another figure of importance that doesn't get much press: those working part time but wanting full-time work. If you have a degree in chemistry or math and are working 10 hours part time because it is all you can find -- in other words, you are severely underemployed -- the government doesn't count you in the 5.6%. Few Americans know this.
