The White House, during its convention, repeatedly claimed to have "created" 4.5 million jobs. Leaving aside the fact that businesses, not government, create jobs, it's still factually incorrect.
According to Bureau of Labor Statistics data, payroll jobs in August totaled 133.3 million. The month Obama entered office, there were 133.561 million. So the number of jobs has shrunk.
