Americans are the most upbeat about finding a quality job than at any time since January 2008, according to Gallup data released April 25.
Economy adds 288,000 jobs; jobless rate, 6.3%
Employers added 288,000 jobs in April as milder weather continued to lift the labor market from a winter slump.
The unemployment rate fell to 6.3% from 6.7% -- the biggest drop since September 2008, the Labor Department said Friday.
Many economists expect the economy and job market to accelerate this year because of higher household wealth and reduced debt, as well as more modest federal government spending cuts

there are fewer Americans with jobs in obama's sixth year than at the height of the "Bush" recession
true story
libs are losers who lie to themselves
How many of the 288,000 were part time?
Or government jobs.
Employment in ... government changed little over the month.
how many are at Walmart; or some other place the Left hates like in the oil and gas producing sector?
libs are losers who lie to themselves
In April, employment growth was widespread, led by gains in professional and business services, retail trade, food services and drinking places, and construction.
3 million Boomers have been retiring each year since 2010, which shoots a big hole in the Forbes rationalization!!!How predictable; left-wing losers rejoicing in phony numbers that tell half a story at best; and are almost ALWAYS REVISED DOWNWARD. look it up if you dont believe me; this is the trend under obama.
a 40-YEAR LOW in participation in the labor market is the number that matters; and it is nothing to rejoice about
libs are losers who lie to themselves
The baby boomers are retiring, Ahab.

Since 2008, the civilian non-institutional population has jumped by 11.9 million, yet the civilian labor force has only increased by 1.1 million, according to annual figures published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
How many of you rightwingers realize that if you're going to hold presidents responsible for the job situation,
while you're trying to blame Obama for whatever you think is wrong with the job situation now,
you are by your own argument making the case for electing Hillary Clinton in 2016,
because Hillary is the closest thing to a replacement for Bill Clinton, and President Clinton had the best job situation in recent memory.
Fair enough?

With a technology boom and the GOP controlling the purse strings, sure. So what's the next technology boom?
BTW, Dole ran on a platform of increasing the GDP by 15-20% during his first term and Clinton scoffed at that, saying it was overly optimistic. So why does he take credit for something he didn't think was possible?
how about we call them "Snow Jobs" ??
do you know what a Snow Job is ?
288,000 people got employment.
Why wouldn't you be happy? I thought jobs were important
The height of the financial crisis happened in Bush's final 4 months. We lost 8 million jobs starting then until the middle of 2009. From there, we had consistent job growth. Thanks in large part to Obama's stimulus package
You people have no perspective when you blame Obama for economic conditions being worse under him than Bush. Your logic is basically saying Bush fixed everything before Obama came into office and then Obama fucked everything up again. Obviously that is complete non sense. Obviously shit is going to be worse under Obama if the 2008 crisis would spill into his presidency.
Let's not forget that 2x as many private jobs were created in his first 5 years than in all of Bush's 8.

there are less people working now in obama's sixth year
youre a fool regurgitating talking points.
if obama 'created" more jobs in five years than bush in 8 then:
you have some apologizing to do to "job creators" you have constantly inssiting havent created jobs.
you should admit it doesnt take "jobs bills' to create jobs since you've been crying like a baby that repubs "blocked" so many Dem "jobs bills'
and basically NOTHING you losers say; certainly not the stupidity you post here; holds up to scrutiny
How many times would you have to have it proven to you that there are more people working now than when Bush left office before you'd admit it?
poor butt-hurt loser Progressive!1
ok go cry now
how about we call them "Snow Jobs" ??

The unemployment numbers mean nothing Leftyloon. The only number that matters is the people in the workforce.. That number is down.
