During President Obama's final press conference of the year, he praised America's continuing job creation and falling uninsured rate in 2014.

Obama emphasized that 2014 was the strongest year for job growth since the 1990s, with more than 11 million new jobs created. He also reminded the audience that the American auto industry had its strongest year since 2005, creating a number of new job opportunities. "Our rescue of the auto industry is officially over," Obama said.
