Obama: Recession goes on for those without jobs
BUFFALO, N.Y. — President Barack Obama says the recession isn’t over for people who can’t find jobs or pay their bills.
Obama told workers Thursday at a manufacturing plant in Buffalo that economists might consider the recession to be technically over. But he said, “it’s not a real recovery until people can feel it in their own lives.”
Obama said the economy is moving in the right direction. But he said he will keep pushing a jobs agenda so that more people can find work, pay their bills and send their children to college.
The president is making a three-hour stop in Buffalo before heading to New York City for a Democratic fundraiser.
