This makes August the 77th straight month of private sector job growth under President Obama’s leadership. This is very encouraging news and I will continue working hard so that all Americans benefit from the economic recovery through better jobs and higher wages. ¡Nuestra economía añadió 151.000 trabajos el mes pasado y el índice de desempleo se mantuvo en 4,9 por ciento, su nivel más bajo desde el año 2008!
