Manufacturing has added 900,000 jobs in the past six years, and our auto industry just had its best year of sales ever. We are less reliant on foreign oil than at any point in the previous four decades. Nearly 18 million people have gained health coverage under the Affordable Care Act, cutting the uninsured rate to a record low. And we’ve done all this while dramatically cutting our budget deficit. In 2015, we continued to take steps forward, with strong job growth and wages rising at their fastest rate in the recovery.
