The Obama Record: May’s weak jobs report further confirms the president’s policies are failing to help the economy. This is, indeed, the worst recovery since the  Depression.

Negative superlatives associated with this presidency keep piling up. The toll so far:

•   The share of Americans who’ve been out of work a long time — now at 42% of the unemployed — is the highest since the Great Depression (source: Labor Department).

•  The proportion of the civilian working-age population actually working, at 58%, is the smallest since the Carter era (Labor Department).

•  Growth in nonfarm payroll jobs since the recovery began in June 2009 is the slowest of any comparable recovery since World War II (Hoover Institution).

•  The rate of new business startups — the engine of job growth — has plunged to an all-time low of 7.87% of all businesses (Census Bureau).

•  3 in 10 young adults can’t find jobs and live with their parents, highest since the 1950s (Pew Research).
