Is this a continuing trend?

Most likely.

About 2-3 Mio. jobs could be created this year.

Unemployment could go down to about 7.5% and then further to about 4-5% when Obama leaves office in Jan. 2017.

I doubt it is anywhere near 7.5% espeicallly with more people entering the work force.......but there is a good chance it will be around 8.0% by election day.

I think you're being a little too confident. The UK is likely to double dip this year, which would then have an adverse effect on the rest of the EU and possibly the US. Unemployment could well be above 9% by election day.

The rate will go down even if job creation is anemic by virtue of the aging baby boomers retiring.

The UK has already double-dipped. Cameron destroyed the recovery with his unnecessary austerity program.

Well, technically, we've just stagnated. Although, some are expecting worse to come.
