jon: chris gutierrez live for us from dallas. chris, thank you.ti ann: a fox news alert, new jobs numbers are out, and they are not good. the labor department reporting this morning the unemployment rate jumped to 9.2% last month. the economy adding just 18,000 jobs. that's the fewest in the last nine months. the president just a short time ago acknowledged there is work to be done. >> each new job that was created last month is good news for the people who are back at work. and for the families that they take care of. and for the communities that they're a part of. but our economy as a whole just isn't producing nearly enough jobs for everybody who's looking. jon: just a few minutes before the president spoke, i spoke with his top economic adviser, austan goolsbee, and asked him, where are the jobs? >> well, look, what this jobs report reiterates what we knew from last month, and that is that at the beginning of this year through a series of headwinds the growth rate slowed down, and you're not going to create very many jobs when the growth rate
