Speaking at Northern Virginia Community College, Mr. Obama termed the country’s current unemployment situation “unacceptable” and said financial pressures should not stop the United States from investing in more worker training.

“Obviously we’re slowly recovering from a very painful recession,” Mr. Obama said. “But there are too many people out there who are still out of work.”
