The President has little impact on the jobs market and what impact they do have works on a several year delay. These sort of arguments are purely political and have no basis in fact.
Does that take in count to how many jobs were lost because of his outsourcing policies.
Democrats for a better USA!
Assigning any causation at all here is pretty foolish.

One could say that Democrats come with jobs because they’re more willing to spend public money. Republicans come with job losses because they’re often looking to cut public spending. None of this should be surprising. I’d be interested in stripping out public sector jobs and government contractor positions in assessing “real” job growth.
Edit: To the person who commented on Republicans running up debt, that’s not the same as spending public money to build things. Tax cuts, for example, run up debt without creating public sector jobs (and probably not any private sector ones either).
“Jobs created” is such a nebulous, flaky metric that you really cannot use it as a point of comparison between political parties. A million jobs “created” over the past year are expected to just go poof when the newest results come out.
