They are expecting 95,000 or so. But, growth is growth.

I wouldn't call it "growth". We lost so many jobs it will take a while to get back to where we were before we're into growth.

I agree, the hole that was left us, was very deep.

You need 125,000-150,000 new jobs a month, OP, to keep up with population growth. Anything less is effectively a loss....and only 80,000 jobs were actually added in June.

Funny how he says Romney does not have the experience. I've not quite figured out what real world experience Obama brought to the job.

We need Obama and a functioning Congress. Considering about 50% of the jobs have been recovered while working thru a near total effort on the part of the GOP to undermine any efforts, The Obama Admin has done quite well. It's up to us to give the President some help in Congress.
