That's because they didn't need job "growth". Everyone was employed and nobody was losing jobs.
5% is considered effective 100% employment:
"According to unemployment data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, that the unemployment rate in Massachusetts was 5.6 percent when Romney took office in January 2003, and it was 4.6 percent when he left office in January 2007."
4.6 percent...people would give their left nut for that kind of number now.
