Letter: Letter Writer Left Out Facts

I would like to add some facts to Robert Dotson’s letter (“GOP cries; Democrats work,” Tuesday, page 6A). Under President Barack Obama, private-sector jobs have gained while public-sector jobs have declined significantly. Jobs in health care, food service and temps make for more than 60 percent of the jobs created since Obama took office, while thousands of construction workers, manufacture workers and government employees have lost their jobs. Unemployment is down, but long term unemployment, more than 27 weeks is up, while 45 percent more Americans are receiving food stamps and the welfare tab is $1 trillion and rising as of 2014. Inflation has remains low, held back by lack of wage increases.
