2014 is the best year of job creation in the US since the 1990s with 2.65 million new jobs created during the period with still one month to go, President Barack Obama said today as he defended his economic policies.
"So far this year, our economy has created 2.65 million new jobs. That's the most of any year since the 1990s even with a full month to go. All told, our businesses have created 10.9 million new jobs over the past 57 months. And that's the longest streak of private-sector job creation on record," Obama said in his weekly address to the nation.
In November alone businesses created 314,000 new jobs, he said.
