Unemployment was at 4% when Bush took office. Now, it's back to 5%. It's OK but nothing to shout about.

The average hourly wage edged up 3 cents to $16.06. That was in line with forecasts and brought hourly wages up 2.7 percent over the last 12 months, while consumer prices are up 2.8 percent for the 12 months through May, meaning wages for hourly workers are barely keeping pace with inflation.
