That's a 8.3 million total. You think this is good?
The population when Obama took office in the US was 306.8 million people
Right now it's 322 million
so that's 15.2 million more people and only 8.2 million new jobs, where most of the growth has been in the service sector.
Remember that Obama started in the middle of a recession! Which means he started in a vacuum of jobs needed!
How can anyone think this is a good thing?
But it does show who is better for jobs in the US, the Republicans!

Of those 15.2 Million more people, each of them is between 1 day and 7 years old and hopefully, do not have jobs yet.
But regardless, the job creation rate could have been even higher if republicans worked with Obama instead of got in his way. Here's just a sample of what they did:
