215,000 New Jobs In July
The economy added 215,000 new jobs in July and the unemployment rate stayed at 5.3%.
Although slower than the blockbuster pace of hiring in late 2014, the average monthly payroll gain in the first half of 2015 stood at more than 200,000 and the report from the Labor Department on Friday showed employers to be consistent last month.
The unemployment rate held steady, after a decrease to 5.3 percent in June, the lowest level in more than seven years. Before the report, economists on Wall Street had been predicting a gain of 225,000 jobs, with no change in the unemployment rate.

215,000 New Jobs In July. That’s equal to two Bush Jr. Job YEARS, for every POTUS Obama month!

I hear that more jobs were created under Obama in 6 years than both Bushies combined…

Don’t worry Mr. Hannity will say those are false numbers since we are not counting the people who gave up looking for work or only working part time! They will say anything to turn a positive into a negative, when the left is involved!
