How Far Have We Come Since the Financial Crisis?

On September 15, 2008, a day that rocked the American economy to its core, Lehman Brothers -- then one of the nation's largest investment banks -- filed for bankruptcy. In the following months before the President took office, Americans watched as the private sector cut 800,000 jobs a month, the housing market crashed, and the American auto industry threatened to collapse.

But six years later, thanks to hardworking American workers and businesses, our economy has added 10 million jobs and is growing stronger by almost every economic measure.

Check out these interactive charts that show the progress we've made in the last six years:
