More Americans Working, Unemployment Rate Falls to 6.1%

Now I too can do what the other talking heads are doing and complain that 142,000 new working Americans in the month of August is too low a figure for this economy. And I too can look at the unemployment rate, which fell from 6.2 to 6.1%, and complain about that it is not at 1%. But compared to where we were when Bush left office, when we were losing 750,000 jobs a month, I’ll say we are in a pretty good place right now.

Of course, there’s always room for improvement, but creating almost 10 million jobs over the last 53 months is definitely progress.

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
