A few more stats from the BLS:

In Jan. 2009 there were 133.6 million working. The low point was Feb 2010 (exactly 3 years ago last month) when 129.3 million were employed. Since then the total number of employed has increased just under 5.75 million to 135.05 million (1.92 million / yr). If that continues for the next 4 years we will have gained about 13.5 million jobs which equates to 10.5% increase from the Feb 2010 low point of the recession or a 7% increase from Jan 2009. Is that good? Maybe not, but it is one heck of a lot better than either Bush and not that much off the 16 million of Reagan's years. Way under Clinton and, believe it or not, Carter, but a lot better than you will ever admit is possible under Obama.

Sorry to be a bore, but it really gets my goat when somebody tries to win an argument with false numbers and then keeps using the same phony numbers to argue the same point after it has been demonstrated that their talking points "facts" are not "factual".
