Why Not Talk About Jobs?

Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders take New Hampshire but who is talking about jobs? New Hampshire has one of the best unemployment rates in the country with 3.1%. The national average of unemployment is 4.9% and dropping, in 2008 it was 5%. The take home pay when you factor in the cost of living is the same as it has been 20 years ago, (with the exception of the tech boom in 2008). Yes the economy is better than it was during the great depression but not by far. 62% of Americans are working, that's the lowest since the 1970s. So why are there 5.6 million job openings?
