> 95% of jobs are temp jobs

False. At best 40% are - and given that a full-time worker has only one job and a part-time temp can have half a dozen at a time, even this is an upward distortion.

> The definition of when someone is said to have a job have been widened substantially since Bush

Also false.

95% of jobs created since 2008.

And yes the definition got widened substantially under bush and Obama kept it.

You can see the definition here. It's quite wide.
