a solid end to the year. overall 2.2 million new jobs created. you can see november, that was revised, about 200,000 jobs created in november, 156 in december. this is what it looks like for the president s tenure. i went back over the numbers. you look at the first year of his presidency, 5 million jobs vanished. remember those terrible days? the next years were spent rebuilding. after that 5 million loss, there were more than 15 million jobs created. under this president, 11 million net new jobs created. let me show you the unemployment rate, at dramatic reversal. got above 10%. finally here at 4.7%. you might recall last month it was 4.6%. why would the unemployment rate rise? it rose because 184,000 people may have been more encouraged about the news they re hearing and are now looking for a job.
99. where cities much larger than ours like san francisco and austin, texas, combined don t have 99 homicides. so, every life matters, both black and white and hispanic and asian. and we ve got a problem here in the city of cleveland when it comes to homicides and, therefore, we ve got to have a police department that the people trust, that are going to go out there and do their job. right now the department of justice is saying, they might be doing their job but the people don t trust them and they need better training. they need better equipment. they need better technology to do their job better, so that we can build trust between that police department and the city residents. sir, we ll leave it there. thank you very much. city cleveland council member zach reed. three things to know this friday. beginning with a jobs report that s all guaranteed 2014 will be the strongest year of job creation since 1999 in addition to a stunning 321,000 jobs
6.7%. that s when we say the jobless rate falls for the wrong reason. people gave up. that s why you re seeing these two different messages from the 74,000 jobs created and a drop in the unemployment rate. ate really messy report because of the weather, because of the end of the year. something that economists are telling me right now, christine go back to november. look at november, 241,000 jobs created in november. we know things were strong heading into the holiday season and now it looks murky about how we finish the year. i was going to ask david the question how worried should we be. it s really disappointing. there s a great deal of hope we had finally turned the corner and a big number of job creation in december would have reinforced that. now we re back to this frustrating situation where the economy does seem to be picking up momentum but not leading to job creation. it s a warning sign. usual caveats one month doesn t make a trend but definitely not
let s switch gears, we have good news expected today on the jobs front. i got a little confused, i was reading the report from yesterday and the numbers were enormous. that was a private payroll survey from adp. yesterday they said they expect big job gains in december. we re going to know for sure at 8:30 eastern when the government gives as you told you, zoraida, the granddaddy of all economic reports. this is my super bowl. she s like bouncing off the ground. i ask one question she lit up. i m going to show you on the magic wall what the charts look like and you can see why folks are getting so excited about the jobs numbers. because the numbers are starting to show that things getting a little bit better. i m not saying we re out of the woods and i m not saying it s great. so don t email me about that. this shows you what it s like this year. you see it started out tepid and we had couple of big spikes earlier in the year. we got nervous in the spring and summer, it remembe
