Sure, it's a good trend that started towards the beginning of Obama's first term in office: All Employees: Manufacturing

Glad to see good job growth in any sector.

Didn't Obama say those jobs weren't coming back? Then again, what did Obama ever know about business and creating and growing wealth? Evidently nothing.

Did anyone bother to look at the link?

All Employees: Manufacturing

Growth started in 2010 and has been consistent since then.

Weird that you choose a picture that shows Trump sitting and laughing with people in the mafia...

The "jobs" the EXACT jobs President Obama was referring to, low skill labor intensive "factory jobs" that started leaving or just ceasing to exist due to automation AKA "robots" did NOT "come back" have NOT "come back" and are not GOING TO "come back"

The NEW jobs that are in the manufacturing sector are higher skilled, that require AT least a number of years at a "VO-TEC" or an engineering degree to program, operate and/or repair all those robots in a factory that employs dozens or maybe a couple of hundred as opposed to the "good old days" when some guy with just HS diploma that got not better than C's and took a lot of "shop" could get an unskilled or at best semi skilled job in some factory IE "bolting on wheels" that employed 1000's especially if they had some relative who could "get them in"

A highly skilled work force sounds a lot better to me than an unskilled work force. Low skilled work isn't coming back, it has nothing to do with any president, it isn't coming back because Americans won't work for as little as people in other countries, Americans don't have the same production rates, and maybe quality is better, but its a small margin.

The argument for unskilled labor is an argument for not being educated. It's an argument for keeping those with low paying jobs in low paying jobs. It's an argument against the improvement of the living standards for the middle and lower class. And we all know who prefers under educated voters.

The 96 straight months of job growth is built mostly on Obama's work. Job growth is generally slowing down. Trump has put some big cracks is his "recovery." It will be his fall, not Obama's. Obama began reducing the rate of depth growth, not as fast as he hoped, but it was moving south. Trump took it to record levels and has little to show for it except a money transfer from poor people to richer people. He laughed off the coming debt bomb by saying, "Well, I won't be here for that." A lot of those jobs are coming back at a huge cost to state governments. The apple deal that was widely touted will cost billions a year for 40 years - if Apple does not walk away. The famous Trump carrier deal in Indiana that Pence hated, but had to accept already dead, the state holding the bag, and the newly minted Trump voters finding out what the phrase, "Screwed but never kissed really means."

That said I'm glad to see jobs growing and hope it lasts, but in my area big dollar jobs are leaving again and there is no relief in site. What does remain will pay far less and be less stable.

Obama was a community organizer that had no clue about what he was doing. Obama has zero experience in private industry. He was an awful president.

Under the awful community organizer with zero experience in private industry, this country came back from the worst recession in decades. I'll live with that.

It was a weak and tepid "recovery". The economy came back not because of Obama, but in spite of Obama.

We were lucky the economy came back at all.

You may think Obama did a poor job with the economy, but we'll never know how someone else would have done in his place. No U.S. president in our lifetime (or well before) has had to face what he did.

I think Obama and the Democratic Party are focused on things other than improving the standard of living of poor and average Americans. I dare say that this is also true of many in the GOP. I would love to see more accomplished people from the private sector running for president, as long as they are committed to supporting a robust economy and putting our quality of life first.

I'm fine with seeing them run, as long as they're prepared for intense scrutiny of their personal and professional backgrounds. You want the most powerful position on earth? Let's see who you are.

[Tax returns.]

Yea, I knew that's where you were going. And I agree that Trump should have produced them. By the way, should birth certificates also be required? I had to present one to get my driver's license. Shouldn't one have to produce one to be President of the United States?
