President’s employment forecast yet to come true

One year has passed since the Obama administration’s so-called “recovery summer.” Like his failed trillion-dollar stimulus bill, the recovery summer was filled with empty promises of creating American jobs.
In a June 2010 statement, President Obama said the summer of 2010 would be the most active recovery period yet. He told Americans that thousands of shovel-ready projects across the country would create jobs and boost the economy.
A year later, national unemployment remains at 9.1 percent — not the 6.8 percent President Obama predicted.
