The graph I posted measures payrolls. There was a net increase of 200K private sector jobs. You can nitpick all you want at other extraneous data but the fact remains that the unemployed rate (the figure that is the standard to measure joblessness) dropped more during the last four months then at any point since 1984.

Is it really your position that as long as people are working and the numbers look good from a political perspective it really doesn't matter if every one of those 200K jobs pays minimum wage?
