I need help finding jobs numbers
I had a discussion today in which the Dow Averages under Bush and Obama were compared. I seem to remember a 6500 number for the low, but I can't find it.

Also job creation was discussed. I contend that Obama created nearly 2 million jobs since he took office, twice as many as Bush created in 8 years.

I would like the facts to back me up.

Please post any links

5. There are fewer people with jobs not than in 2000
The Dow now is lower than in 1997.
