I’m sure some conservative will show up to explain to us all why this is terrible news and further proof of the President’s failure.
I have just one request. After explaining how this story is all an illusion perpetrated by a sycophantic liberal media, and our republic is actually doomed, could you also tell us why you demand government cutbacks, whine about the resulting unemployment when public sector workers lose their jobs, then condemn the President for the unemployment that the policies you advocate, created?
Is it stupidity, hypocrisy or some other yet to be discovered intellectual shortcoming?

4.67 million job openings in June! “The last time there were that many openings was in April 2001,” Further proof GOP wars and policies don’t create jobs: GW “Bush Worst on Jobs in US History”-WSJ 1/09/09 on the Halliburton Cheney Admins 1.08 M private jobs created during all 8 years!

Nobody informed complains about CBO proving 7 M+ stimulus successes, of the Obama/Dems 60% Jobs Stimulus creating 70% of the Obama Admins 10 M+ private jobs in 53 consecutive months of jobs growth! August, 2014 will tie Clinton’s all-time jobs growth record of 54 consecutive months.
Now, imagine if the GOP house approved a jobs bill or even fund a large infrastructure bill of just $50b+, the amount of jobs that would be available/created. We’d easily have unemployment at a rate of around 4%. Of course, we don’t help dem (especially non-white) presidents do the job they’re sworn in to do, if it’s not a GOPer presiding as our national leader.
Repubs are too busy trying to hide in shame from obstructing Obama’s U.S. Record all-time high September, 2014 Fifty-Five consecutive months of private jobs growth in the Dems 2nd Mid-term record $16.2 T+ GDP economic BOOM!

“The big picture I see in this report is that the labor market is recovering really slowly,” said Robert Blecker, a professor of economics at American University in Washington. He noted that “the overall numbers are still just creeping along” and the government isn’t doing much hiring.”
And, there is the real problem for a sustained recovery. Construction fuels a large percentage of our economy for above minimum wages jobs for the average worker. Obama has overseen one of the largest,and sustained, fed and state employee cuts in modern times. With any help from the right, this economy would have recovered years ago.
Under President Reagan governments added more than 1.4 million jobs — approximately twice as many government jobs as have been cut over the past 6 years. Government purchases from the private sector (what other kind are there?), expanded by $410 billion (that’s $1.2 trillion in today’s dollars),under President Ronald Reagan.

“America might be back to pre-Great Recession levels in terms of total number of jobs, but what kind of jobs are they? A new study from the US Conference of Mayors and IHS Global Insight gives the discouraging news:
In 2008 and 2009 the US economy lost 8.7 million jobs. By examining the sectors from which the jobs were lost, most notably manufacturing and construction, we find that the average annual wage in sectors (current wages weighted by number of jobs) where jobs were lost in the downturn was $61,637. A similar accounting of the jobs gains through 2014 q2 shows average wages of $47,171 per year.
This wage gap, at 23%, is significantly larger than that of the earlier recession and recovery, and implies $93 billion in lower wage income. Extensive job losses in high-wage manufacturing ($63K) and construction ($58K) sectors were replaced by jobs in the lower wage sectors of hospitality ($21K), health care ($47K), and administrative support ($37K).” http://www.aei-ideas.org/2014/08/study-new-jobs-pay-23-less-than-those-lost-during-the-great-recession/

Well you can bet the economy will be sabotaged by the Republicans as much as possible. It happens whenever there is a presidential election coming. By June of 2015 watch for the numbers to drop again. Happens every time.
