(MENAFN- Saudi Press Agency) US President Barack Obama said at a campaign rally on Friday that better-than-expected job figures proved that the
economy was turning around, dpa reported.
'This morning we learned that companies hired more people in
October than at any time in the last eight months,' Obama said in
Hilliard, Ohio, after the Labour Department said payrolls grew by
171,000 jobs in October even as the unemployment rate rose to 7.9 per
cent.
'We have made real progress, but we are here today because we know
we have more work to do,' he said, noting that as long as there is 'a
single American who wants a job but can't find one ... our fight goes
on we've got more work to do.'
