Yes that is called anemic job growth. It is caused by his stupid policies and his funding of stupid pet projects through wasteful boondoggles like ARRA. Remember ARRA was supposed to create 3 million jobs that first year. It never happened.
While positive, 150k is not and will not do shit when you lose and drop out equal amounts in the work force.
The losses all came in year one, quickly working our way out of 750,000 monthly losses. Then two and a half years of steady positive gains.
That isn't the point. The growth sucks and we are dipping down again. 150k gets us nowhere compared to what we lose and drop out each month.
I can get you numbers later, but I am most certain you know of the shrinking labor force.... Besides, unemployment ticked up even with the 150k+ jobs added. We have the same number of workers as we did in the 80's...
Well, that's twisting it a little. The point I was making is that government jobs can be cut and needed to be cut to lessen the size and waste. Obviously firing a bunch of teachers at the expense of the kids is the last thing we need to do. Do you think cutting back on public sector spending is a bad thing?
