Putting Americans back to work
“I wake up every single morning thinking about how can I make sure that anybody who wants a job is able to get a job.”
—President Obama to his Jobs Council in June 2011.
The economy has been growing in the last 23 months under President Obama’s leadership. When the President took office, his economic program addressed the immediate financial crisis and laid the foundation for a U.S. economy built to last. A recent study from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities reported:
The economy added almost 3.7 million private-sector jobs from February 2010 to January 2012, gaining an average of 160,000 private-sector jobs each month.
The economy added a total of 243,000 jobs in January 2012.
There’s still a lot of work to be done, so President Obama will continue fighting for American workers and businesses. Share President Obama’s record on jobs and the economy with your friends and family.
