Article stating that if there’s one economic accomplishment you can’t take away from Obama, who took office during the darkest days of the financial crisis, it is that a ton of jobs were added to the US economy during his time in office.
The number to beat: 15.8 million in 7 years. Since the beginning of 2010, 15.8 million private sector jobs have been added to the economy. (The December 2016 jobs report also pushed the wage growth rate to the highest level since 2009.)
Need 16 million new private sector jobs by 2023. That's 2.29 Million jobs per year.
Ready, set, go. (Don't forget to also push the wage growth rate to the highest level since 2016.)
Don't forget he came into office in a very bad recession and he's been in office for 8 years. Jobs had no where else to go but up. When you start at the bottom, it's hard not to have nice job numbers.
And yet somehow there are 20,000,000 MORE people receiving food stamps as there were when he was elected. Those are clearly high paying jobs Obama 'created'.
"Sixty thousand manufacturing jobs were added in the U.S. in 2014, versus 12,000 in 2003, either through so-called reshoring, in which American companies bring jobs back to the U.S., or foreign direct investment, in which foreign companies move production to the U.S., according to a study from the Reshoring Initiative. In contrast, as many as 50,000 jobs were “offshored” last year, a decline from about 150,000 in 2003."
"Manufacturers like Hessaire are part of a growing move to “re-shore” manufacturing jobs that were once lost to countries such as China and Mexico. The Reshoring Initiative, a group that focuses on bringing manufacturing jobs back to the U.S., estimates that between 2009 and 2016 more than 250,000 jobs were created or brought to the U.S. from other countries."

this. exactly this.
Low workforce participation. High poverty rate.... but high job creation and low UE rate!
Great legacy - if you want to destroy the Country!
