"But when I was sworn in, we were losing 750,000 jobs a month. Every -- each month, we were losing 750,000 jobs. The economy was shrinking at 6 percent. It was contracting by 6 percentage points. That's faster than it had in decades. Today, it's growing again. Today, we've added private sector jobs for five months in a row. (Applause.)" President Obama, June 30, 2010.
