  But we all know that we've still got a lot of work to do. And so the question here tonight is not where we've been, but where we're going. [ABC News, 10/4/12 [1]]
  Bureau Of Labor Statistics: 5 Million Private-Sector Jobs Added Since February 2010. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey found that in February 2010, the U.S. economy employed 106,773,000 people. In August of 2012 the survey found 111,400,000 people employed -- an increase of approximately 4.6 million. A preliminary revision released by the BLS in September, which incorporated more accurate state-level data, found that there were an additional 453,000 people employed in the private sector. The revision combined with the results of the August survey show that the U.S. economy has added over 5 million private sector jobs in the last 30 months.
