Unemployment Rate Slides To Near 4-Year Low

The latest jobs report shows a big drop in the unemployment rate, falling to a level not seen since President Obama took office.

FOX News Radio’s Jared Halpern explains how it happened:

Tell folks here in Madison that the unemployment rate has dipped to 7.8% from 8.1% and their response?

(Resident) “Yeah right, that’s my comment to that.”

(Resident) “It sounds right. It’s a lot more people that’s working that I’ve seen, or that I’ve talked to. Before, it was much harder to find jobs.”

(Resident) “That’s kind of what mostly matters to me is, you know, friends and family that still can’t find a job. So, the numbers don’t mean much to me.”

One woman says to help her adult son find a job, she’s helped him re-work his resume and has conducted mock interviews with him.
