What You Should Know About Today's Jobs Numbers:

This morning, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released a report that shows just how far our economy has come since the Great Recession.

Adding 236,000 jobs in September, America's businesses have now seen positive job growth for 55 straight months -- the longest streak of private-sector job gains on record. And the overall unemployment rate fell to 5.9 percent -- the lowest it's been since July 2008.

The data underscores that six years after the Great Recession -- thanks to the hard work of the American people and in part to the policies the President has pursued -- our economy has bounced back more strongly than most others around the world.
