Obama Hails ‘encouraging News' in Jobs Report

(NECN: Washington) - President Barack Obama says he is happy with healthier job growth, but says the economy is not producing enough jobs to accommodate people in need of work.

Obama addressed the nation this morning after the government released the November jobs report.

The President said he is "open to any idea, any proposal" that will help jumpstart the economy.

Employers added the most jobs in five months in October, with the education and health care sectors leading the way.
