Roughly a little under 8 pct.

Budget deficits are going to go up during a slow economy. But that nitwit didn’t do a damned thing that helped. You may recall he spent a trillion bucks on political payoffs in his early months and unemployment continued to rise month after month.

Biggest idiot to hold the office in my lifetime.

We need to review the unemployment rate when he started.

"Dream scenario" may have been too strong of term on inode's part but when your measuring success by lowering the unemployment rate, starting with a high rate makes your job easier.

If improvement in stats is the measure having bad stats at the beginning helps.
