Document Summary
The us jobs picture in 2015: brighter, with chance of republican storms. There is one problem: to win, republicans have to paint obama"s tenure as a bad time for the economy and jobs. Currently, the number of americans who are positive about the us economy outweighs that of those who negative about it but just slightly, 49% to 45%, according to gallup. And everyone, it seems, is bullish about america"s job creation capabilities in 2015. From small businesses to ceos to regular americans, optimism is increasing for jobs growth in 2015. There is a good reason for that for six straight months in 2014, growth exceeded 200,000 jobs a month. Last year, the unemployment rate dipped below to 5. 9%, a rate not seen since july 2008. Yet those numbers don"t tell the full story. There is more to an economic recovery than optimism and a low unemployment rate.
