By the way, another reason that businesses began to hire during Obama's last years, aside from the fact that they could see light at the end of the tunnel (i.e., they knew Obama would be gone soon), is that the Republicans took control of the Senate in the 2014 midterm elections and increased their majority in the House. So businesses now knew that adults were in charge of Congress and that none of Obama's anti-business initiatives would pass Congress. Plus, Congress then passed a two-year budget deal that included a whopping $700 billion in tax cuts and tax breaks (one of the largest tax-cut bills in history), and, to his credit, Obama signed it.
Incidentally, that budget deal also delayed several provisions of Obamacare.
