Of course, here we have a candidate fudging the truth...and even more disturbing...undermining the record of the only two-term Democratic President since Franklin Roosevelt.
Job growth was significant in the United States under the last Democratic President. Real wages for the middle class increased.

Idad, trying to keep the tone here civil and sarcasm-free (per previous requests), Obama wasn't "fudging the truth." You are changing the subject, conflating two different topics.
Clearly, Obama was focusing here on a specific sector of the economy - small towns in the Midwest and the East, where many residents had long relied for employment on jobs, in industry and manufacturing, that no longer exist. Your response? To offer statistics concerning the country as a whole.
Even assuming that your statistics are correct, it's of little comfort to an unemployed factory worker in Pennsylvania that someone who answers the phone for a living in Arizona just got a raise.
And Obama cannot be faulted, much less accused of "fudging the truth," because his apples don't look like your oranges.
