Way to go Obama!

Previous months' job creation numbers were revised lower, bucking a trend in which the counts mainly have been taken up.


The BLS now puts May job growth at 176,000 from the previously reported 195,000, while June's figure fell to 188,000 from 195,000.


At the same time, long-term unemployment rose, with the average duration of joblessness now at 36.6 weeks.


And wage growth fell: After rising 10 cents an hour last month, average wages fell 2 cents to $23.98 an hour, while the average work week decreased by 0.1 hours to 34.4 hours.
