[SOT/] Obama:
"three and a half years later, we're still recovering from the worst economic crisis in our lifetimes. We've got a lot of work to do before everybody who wants a good job can find one, before middle class folks regain that sense of security it had been slipping away even before the recession hit and before towns like petersburg get fully back on their feet. But here's the good news. Over the past 2 years our businesses have added nearly 4 million new jobs. We just found out that last month in february we added 233,000 private sector jobs. More companies are brining jobs back and investing in america. And manufacturing is adding jobs for the first time since the 1990s. We just had another good month last month in terms of adding manufacturing jobs and this facility is part of the evidence of what's going on all across the country. This company is about to hire more than 200 new workers, 140 of them right here in petersburg, virginia. So the economy is getting stronger. When I come to places like this and see the work that's being done it gives me confidence there are better days ahead."
