The Jobs Report came out this morning - below is a brief overview:
- Employers added 114,000 jobs in September
- Unemployment rate unexpectedly fell to 7.8% in September (it was 8.1% in August)
- The US needs at least 150,000 new jobs each month just to keep up with population growth
- Economists predict the U.S. economy will grow no faster than 3% a year, until at least 2014
- Approximately 12.1 million people were unemployed in September, and 40% of them have been so for six months or more
However Obama and Romney disagree with how to go about creating new jobs. Check out this video from CNN money for a breakdown of the differences.
