This week, I spent some time in Racine, Wisconsin, talking with folks who are doing their best to cope with the aftermath of a brutal recession.本周，我花了些时间来到威斯康辛州的雷辛区，与这里的人民交谈，了解他们在大衰退后的日子里如何度过难关。?And while I was there, a young woman asked me a question I hear all the time: “What are we doing as a nation to bring jobs back to this country?”在那里的时候，有个年轻女士问了我一个问题，我一直都记得，“我们国家在创造就业方面都在做些啥啊？”?Well, on Friday, we learned that after 22 straight months of job loss, our economy has now created jobs in the private sector for 6 months in a row.?
