The unemployment rate under Clinton hit around 4% at its lowest. Thank you for making my point that it wasn't a point lower than it is now. Perhaps you where confused by the fact that "current" figure on the chart, while perhaps current when the chart is created is far from current now. Unemployment now is 4.7% or lower.

If you open the link below, there is a graph.....the graph shows unemployment dipping below 4% It doesn't show it dipping to 3.7%. Go ahead and find one source for the unemployment rate under Clinton reaching 3.7%. Actually you would have to show it as 3.6% as the most recent unemployment rate figures (from June) show 4.6% not 4.7. bls.gov Also the 3.9 to 4 % it did reach was at the end of his term. Unemployment in the US has been declineing just as it was during a lot of Clintons term. If we have a jobless recovery now than Clinton also had one for quite awhile. mypetjawa.mu.nu
