    Obama said that the new jobs report was another illustration of more work needed to be done to boost business creation and consumer spending.

    However, the president tried to ease the concerns brought by the record-high rate, saying "history tell us job growth always lags economic growth."

    Earlier the day, Obama signed a bill that would extend jobless benefits and homebuyer tax credits.
