THE VERDICT: A comprehensive look back at Obama's jobs record

Since Obama took office in January 2009, the US economy has added 11,250,000 people to total nonfarm payrolls.
This includes a decrease of 354,000 government workers
Obama is roughly in the middle of the pack for recent presidents in raw jobs created.
The unemployment rate has decreased from 7.8% when Obama took over the Oval office to just 4.7% today.
The composition of jobs under Obama has changed.
Wage growth for American workers has bounced back, but has not fully recovered yet.
Overall, Obama took over a jobs market in crisis and ended up growing the labor market better than most of the modern US presidents.
Personal note - I thought W had a net negative jobs record.
