So Reagan didn't really create 16 million jobs? Who knew?Thank you Republican Governors, and those working so hard to make their businesses work while their President does everything he can to cripple them.....and thanks to the American energy industry....also fighting to bring us energy, cheaply, while the President does his best to destroy coal, and prevent the shale oil boom......
too bad obama will take credit for the hard work of so many others while he is not just standing by and doing nothing, but actively trying to undermine their efforts.....
Yeah. thanks Republican governors for gutting the retirement system I relied upon! I'm a public sector employee who has paid taxes and kept up my property responsibly. But to the Republican governor in my state, I am the problem that must be solved by attrition. I didn't do anything wrong.. I took pay cuts. But now my retirement is being eroded. Why? Because I am an easy target. Because the Republicans saw a chance to make cuts without reason.Thank you Republican Governors, and those working so hard to make their businesses work while their President does everything he can to cripple them.....and thanks to the American energy industry....also fighting to bring us energy, cheaply, while the President does his best to destroy coal, and prevent the shale oil boom......

The short list:They've had the House since 2010 and yes, you can thank them for what little break we've been getting. Which policy has obama enacted that created jobs?The economy is doing so good, the GOP will try to take credit for it!
They just took over Congress....time to start taking credit
No, but over 200,000 * 12 == 3,000,0002014 was America s best year of job growth since 1999 - Jan. 9 2015
.
It's encouraging news as the U.S. tries to put the Great Recession and sluggish recovery solidly behind it. Many economists expect 2015 to be equally as strong, if not better, for job seekers.
The unemployment rate fell to 5.6%in December, down from 5.8% in November. That's also a big drop from the 6.7% rate in December 2013. It's expected to hit 5.2% -- around the normal level -- by the end of the year, according to CNNMoney's survey of economists.

Throughout the recovery, the concern has been that America was adding jobs slowly and people hunting for work were getting so frustrated they would drop out of the workforce altogether.
But the U.S. added over 200,000 jobs every month in 2014 except two. The end of the year was especially strong with 252,000positions added in December. That was ahead of CNNMoney's economist forecast of 236,000.
The government also revised up its estimates for job gains in October and November, revealing employers added more than 50,000 jobs than previously thought.

200,000 * 12 = 3,000,000??????????
Wow
What's bad about it? Keep in mind, the number of people who are not in the labor force but do want a job dropped to about 6.4 million.The labor participation rate is the lowest it's been in decades.

This program is a strong catalyst for job growth, and it costs very little to taxpayers…So when the recession hit, and angel and venture funding dropped, Congress and the Administration looked to SBIC to help fill the gap in access to growth capital. That’s why the Recovery Act did some calibrations to the SBIC program that freed up even more capital. The goal was to help fill the gap we saw – while still ensuring that the SBIC was on solid footing. Those adjustments and other efforts led by our Investment chief Sean Greene, worked. The results have been remarkable. I’m pleased to announce them now.The short list:They've had the House since 2010 and yes, you can thank them for what little break we've been getting.

Again ... the number of people not in the labor force who want a job decreased. So why is it bad that the overall number of people not in the labor force increased?That isn't good by any stretch of the imagination.

Did some more looking at the change in Labor Force Participation from Nov to Dec, specifically at Labor force status flows by sex current monthIt's significantly lower than it was just 5 years ago.The labor participation rate is the lowest it's been in decades.

Labor participation rate has been going down for 15 years. It is expected to keep going down as baby boomers drop out of the workforce
For the first 4 years of Obama's presidency, Republicans hammered that the unemployment rate was the only economic measure that mattered. Now that it is down to 5.6%, labor participation rate is the only economic measure that matters
Sorry but all those people who lost their jobs didn't choose to retire.
