BEIJING, Feb. 4 (Xinhuanet) -- US President Barack Obama has said job figures show the US economy is growing and healing, calling on Congress to pass a payroll tax extension and avoid sabotaging the recovery.
Obama said: "Now this morning we received more good news about our economy. In January, American businesses added another 257,000 jobs. The unemployment rate came down because more people found work. Altogether we added 3.7 million new jobs over the last 23 months."
Data released earlier on Friday showed US unemployment dipped to 8.3 percent in January and the economy created new jobs at the fastest pace in nine months. The numbers come as Obama continues his campaign for re-election this year. He said that the unemployment rate among the nearly 3 million US veterans is still too high, as they transition back into civilian life. He called for granting money for programs that would allow them to be hired as police and firefighters.
