At a certain point, job losses will stop going down, but it doesn't mean more people are back to work. It just means that less people are losing their jobs. It does not count the people who are still out of work. Here is the graph that really matters. Make particular note of the hockey stick in the past year: http://www.google.com/publicdata?ds=usunemployment&met=unemployment_rate&tdim=true&dl=en&hl=en&q=unemployment+rate And this is from Google, a non-partisan source, not the Obama media spin.
