Jobless Americans are concerned about the high unemployment rate.
"If Mitt Romney gets into office he is going to have to get these young black men and old black men jobs,” said Jeff Smith, who currently is unemployed.
Larry Guinn, a small business owner, said economic uncertainty makes him reluctant to hire new workers.
“I just see more and more unemployment in the country, and that’s not good for America," said Guinn.
Some Ohio voters, including Catholic priest Joseph Rudjak, say jobs are available.
"I don’t see people here terribly disturbed by the unemployment rate. There are opportunities for simple jobs, low-paying jobs,” said Rudjak.
Ohio businessman Gus Hoyes said the job market is getting better, but he's not sure if President Barack Obama should get credit for the change.
“There is a positive upflow. Is that the result of what Obama has done over the past four years? For me that is hard to determine if that is something that has been caused by his leadership,” said Hoyes.
Voters will look more at the unemployment trend rather than at the exact level, says University of Mary Washington political scientist Chad Murphy.
“What’s important is the trend," he said. "Do you feel like things have gotten better for you?”
That’s why the president says the economy was losing hundreds of thousands of jobs a month when he took office, but now is gaining jobs.
Rival Mitt Romney said the recovery is weak and blames Obama’s economic policies. |
