(Reuters) - U.S. employers kept up a solid pace of hiring in May, returning employment to its pre-recession level and offering confirmation the economy has snapped back from a winter slump.

Nonfarm payrolls increased 217,000 last month, the Labor Department said on Friday, in line with market expectations. Data for March and April was revised to show 6,000 fewer jobs created than previously reported.

jobs report. you all know the drill.
 
the question we have to ask is this just pure might of the american economy or did obama actually have anything to do with it?

i have to say this is pure tenacity of the american economy to get back on it's feet dispite all the road blocks that obama has put in the way.
he has nothing to do with this recovery there is no way he can get any credit for it at all.
 
Obama sucks!

see, you said in two words what is going to take everyone else ten pages of fistfighting to express.

i dub thee Sir American, brave knight of Cliff Notes, defender of the Bridge of Brevity.

Presidents always get the blame or credit for how the economy is performing whether it's deserved or no.

no obama has done nothing to get any credit i don't care how well the economy is doing. he has done not one thing that would make the economy better but a bunch of stuff to keep it in the gutter.

only a ideologue would give him credit for anything.

Returning employment to pre-recession level?

Sure...

'And now the bad news. As the next chart shows, that virtually every job gaines since the trough of the depression has been matched by at least one person dropping out of the labor force. In fact, since December 2007, the total number of jobs is virtually unchanged, while the number of people not in the labor force has increased by an unprecedented 12.8 million from 79.2 million to a record 92 million. Recovery?'

nope. i am not blaming him i am saying that he has done nothing to get this economy going and he hasn't.
not giving him credit for something he hasn't done isn't blaming him.

I wasn't calling you an ideologue, just saying that those that are will always blame the opposite party and claim credit as their own when things go right.

To even say it is a recovery is a stretch. Numbers are up mainly because most employers are only hiring part time employees. So yes there are more jobs but of those a good chunk are still under employed
