It's been a long slog since the Great Recession getting to this point. Thank you Obama for setting us on this path, and I hope that Trump can keep us on it.

You go that right! Never mind the fact that the Trump Tax cuts and regulatory drawback gave businesses the capital to hire more people. Some people don't understand that bankrupt companies and poor people do not hire anyone.

Hmm... Obummer replaced full-time jobs with part-time jobs & then wanted $15/hour... not the same. Note that U15 has dropped as well.
Unemployment is dropping, that means labor is scarce... that means paychecks go up which increases tax revenue...
What to do, what to do...

You don’t follow actual math do you MAJ James Woods ?
The jobs under trump *ARE* full-time.
Try not to let your bias expose innumeracy.

Sgt Wayne Wood - But I do read the BLS statistical reports, analysis and summations ever since I signed up for their email notifications.
The method they're using to determine the job numbers and unemployment rate now is the same manner they used under Obama, Bush, Clinton, and Bush. Nice try playing "the unemployment numbers under Obama are fake" game.

Hasn't helped me and my co-workers. I work for the maintenance dept for Pender County Schools and we haven't seen a raise since 08.

Which numbers MAJ James Woods ? Just give me a ‘U’ designator & i’ll know. My guess is U3 since it proves your case by removing under-employed & discouraged workers.
You’ve demonstrated your ignorance of history... keep going
