White House economists conceded Friday that the hole Obama is trying to fill is deep. Seven million jobs have been lost since the Great Recession began in 2007. December saw losses of an additional 53,000 construction jobs and 27,000 manufacturing jobs. The number of workers unemployed for 27 weeks or more reached a record 6.1 million, or four out of every 10 unemployed workers.

Some 661,000 Americans dropped out of the labor market last month, in many cases because they did not believe there were any jobs and they stopped looking.
