Creating jobs in December

News this morning that our country had added 200,000 jobs in December is another welcome sign that America's economy is recovering. These new jobs, driven by private sector hiring, pushed the nation’s unemployment rate down to its lowest level in nearly three years. At 8.5 percent, unemployment is still far too high, but signs of a positive trend are emerging, with the economy adding private sector jobs for 22 straight months, as illustrated by the chart below.

Although there is still much more work to be done, the trend lines are pointing in a positive direction, and that’s good for Delaware families and businesses.
