VIDEO: On last day, Goolsbee says 'long way to go' on jobs

On his last day at the White House, Austan Goolsbee, chairman of President Obama's Council of Economic Advisers, said he is not satisfied with the employment numbers in the U.S.

Goolsbee is leaving the administration to return to the University of Chicago.

Goolsbee said the debt-ceiling debate was "quite unsettling" and "deeply damaging." He called for a renewed focus on job growth. He told Bloomberg TV today's jobs report was encouraging, but said "we've got a long way to go."

When asked if he was leaving his post in a satisfactory position with jobs, he said, "No, no, of course not. We've got an unemployment rate that even though it's down a little today is still 9.1 percent. So we should not stand pat. We have a long way to go."

He emphasized not to make too much out of any one report, but touted the employment progress in July.
