As President Obama played golf Friday and headed for a long weekend at Camp David, the White House said the government’s new jobs report proves that the 2009 stimulus program is still helping the economy.
Alan Krueger, chairman of the president’s Council of Economic Advisers, said the addition of 195,000 non-farm jobs in June is “further confirmation that the U.S. economy is continuing to recover from the worst downturn since the Great Depression.”
“In the four years since the recession ended in June 2009, the economy has added 5.3 million jobs, thanks to the resilience of the American people and policies like the Recovery Act, which helped bring the recession to an end and put us on the path to recovery,” Mr. Krueger said.

Yeah right. This guy and his administration has been lying for 5 years now and we are supposed to believe whatever they say. I'm not that stupid, but I know a lot of voters that are.
Even if these tall tales of improved job numbers are so, they are not quality jobs with a decent compensation. Show me the numbers on types and pay rate and benefit packages of these additional jobs. Minimum wage, part-time, no benefits is what I'm guessing.
Government and part time minimum wage jobs should not count.
Yeah, this job and manufacturing boom is the best I've ever seen! Then, again, I'm only five years old!
