It's lols that he thinks the unemployment rate went down because people found quality jobs, not because people either gave up looking for work and dropped out of the percentage or they got jobs at mcdonalds making 8.25 an hour
A net of 4.5 million jobs (back in july 2014) were created while Obama was in office. While Bush was in office he made 8.5 million jobs, he ended up tanking the economy and loosing 7 million jobs, for a net of 1.5 million jobs created.
There aren't 4.5 million more people working at mcdonalds or fast food joints, those are pretty much maxed out in their markets. There are people out there getting legitimate jobs. He
Read some stuff and quit letting people think for you.
"The U.S. economy has been gaining an average of 224,000 jobs a month over the past year. Any month with job gains over 200,000 is considered strong.
Americans found employment in a wide array of industries. Professional and business services added 86,000 positions, with particularly strong hiring in accounting and book keeping.

Retail trade employment rose by 50,000, thanks largely to increased hiring by car dealerships and clothing stores. Many companies added more to payroll this fall, anticipating a stronger holiday shopping season. Wal-Mart (WMT) added 10% more seasonal staffers than last year, while Kohl's (KSS) hired 34% more. UPS (UPS) and FedEx (FDX) are also augmenting their ranks more than last year.
While November's surge had a strong seasonal component, the the underlying trend has clearly shifted to a faster pace"

I agree minimum wage should be raised, and what are you doing about it? I have voted in my state and we raised minimum wage to 15 an hour. There are people out there that think its fine where it is.
Still jobs are being created and the economy is looking better. We are much better off than Europe right now and the US dollar is gaining value.
Obviously things aren't perfect but Obama isn't the devil people make him out to be.
