>> Who's hiring? Almost everyone You do realize this horrible president has dragged the country down for six long years, struggling to recover from a recession that should have been over at least three years ago? Even today, unemployment is still only a percentage point less than it was when he took office. And the participation rate stands at a 35 year low. Hiring, indeed.

Right. "A few figures to consider: That big headline number translated into just 4,000 more working Americans. There were, at the same time, another 115,000 on the unemployment line. That disparity can be explained through an expanding labor force, which grew 119,000, though the participation rate among that group remained at 62.8 percent, which is just off the year's worst level and around a 36-year low. But wait, there's more: The jobs that were created skewed heavily toward lower quality. Full-time jobs declined by 150,000, while part-time positions increased by 77,000." nbcnews.com
