If this keeps up it’s going to put a crimp in the GOP’s narrative that Obama’s policies have made things worse.
From the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics …
Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 243,000 in January, and the
unemployment rate decreased to 8.3 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics reported today. Job growth was widespread in the private
sector, with large employment gains in professional and business
services, leisure and hospitality, and manufacturing. Government
employment changed little over the month.
That’s the lowest unemployment rate since 2009 when Obama had just been sworn in after the Bush Administration left the economy in a tailspin. Also in the BLS report, the private sector generated 257,000 jobs in December, while government jobs declined during the last 12 months. So much for the “Obama is a socialist” meme.
But don’t worry. By the time Dems get the economy nearly fixed the American people will reward them by putting Republicans back in charge so they can trash it and we can start the process all over again. This is how it has been going the last three decades. You’d think middle class working people would wise up already … but no.
