then we'll have a conversation with christa freeland. the file here 227,000 jobs created last month, 8.3% unemployment rate. during the obama presidency you see the rate was up around 10%. it's now dropped down. pretty static since january but down from its highs anyway. the question will it go lower than 8.3% before november? let's look now. since the president came to office, remember back in 2008 the final months of the bush administration? then first year of the obama administration? the economy was bleeding jobs. that's all the red. been in the black mostly since. a few tough months in the middle of 2010. look at that, though. since this rough period here and into 2011 and 2012, jobs up. these are the three months in a row above 200,000. one last thing to look at here, where are the jobs? the last month 233,000 created in the private sector. 6,000 jobs lost in the public sector. manufacturing up, healthcare up. hospitality and service industry up. let's bring in christa freeland now a global editor at large for global reuters. chris
