The left is celebrating.

288,000 low wage jobs created.

Probably low wage and part time. I'll bet that they amount to less then half that number if you count them by full time hours. Either way, that hardly compensates for the millions of jobs lost, most higher than min wage, that have been lost under Obama.

I'm no fan of the LSOS, and he certainly hasn't helped the situation, but you can't lay the job situation at his feet alone.
This has has been developing over the past 20+ years, as pols of every stripe, including both the Democrats & Republicans have been advocating and making "free trade" deals such as all of the various *aftas that we have seen. All we have managed to do is outsource our standard of living.

Ross Perot had it right way back in 1992, with his predictions of the "Giant Sucking Sound" as jobs left this country.

I agree however he was the campaigning he knew how to fix it. Joe was the one that said summer of recovery. Your right you cannot lay it at his feet alone but he has done nothing to make it better.

That's was my point. Not only didn't he make it better, its gotten worse under Obama. There are only two reasons the numbers sometimes look like they are going up, 1) they stop count millions of unemployed after their unemployment runs out, 2) they count people who lost full time jobs that get a part time one as a job recovered.
