By March 2010, the private sector began creating jobs consistently each month, a trend which continued through the end of his tenure, while public sector employment was slower to recover due to budget cuts.<a href="#cite_note-RSKrugman1-1">[1]</a><a href="#cite_note-Obama_Inequality-2">[2]</a> President Obama followed with the 2010 <a href="/wiki/Patient_Protection_and_Affordable_Care_Act" class="mw-redirect" title="Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act">Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act</a> (ACA), commonly referred to as "Obamacare". By 2016, the law covered approximately 24 million people with health insurance via a combination of state healthcare exchanges and an extension of Medicaid.<a href="#cite_note-CBO_ACA1-6">[6]</a> It lowered the rate of those without health insurance from approximately 16% in 2010 to 9% by 2015.<a href="#cite_note-CDC1-7">[7]</a> Throughout his tenure, healthcare costs continued to moderate. For example, healthcare premiums for those covered by employers rose by 69% from 2000 to 2005, but only 27% from 2010 to 2015.<a href="#cite_note-Kaiser15-8">[8]</a> By 2017, nearly 70% of those on the ACA marketplace exchanges could purchase insurance for less than $75/month after subsidies.<a href="#cite_note-NPR1-9">[9]</a> The ACA was evaluated multiple times by the <a href="/wiki/Congressional_Budget_Office" title="Congressional Budget Office">Congressional Budget Office</a> (CBO), which scored it as a moderate deficit reducer, as it included tax hikes primarily on high income taxpayers (roughly the top 5%) and reductions in future Medicare cost increases, offsetting subsidy costs.<a href="#cite_note-CBO_June15-10">[10]</a> No Republicans in the House or Senate voted for the law.<a href="#cite_note-RSKrugman1-1">[1]</a> To address the excesses in the banking sector that precipitated the crisis, Obama signed the 2010 <a href="/wiki/Dodd%E2%80%93Frank_Wall_Street_Reform_and_Consumer_Protection_Act" title="Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act">Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act</a>. This law limited bank risk-taking and overhauled the outdated regulatory regime that was ineffective in monitoring the non-depository or <a href="/wiki/Shadow_banking" class="mw-redirect" title="Shadow banking">shadow banking</a> sector at the core of the crisis, which had outgrown the traditional depository banking sector. It also created the <a href="/wiki/Consumer_Financial_Protection_Bureau" title="Consumer Financial Protection Bureau">Consumer Financial Protection Bureau</a>.

He faced either a split or Republican Congress thereafter, limiting his economic legislation to mainly budgetary matters. The <a href="/wiki/Great_Recession" title="Great Recession">Great Recession</a> had caused federal government revenues to fall to their lowest level relative to the size of the economy in 50 years. At the same time, safety net expenditures (including automatic stabilizers such as unemployment compensation and disability payments) and stimulus measures caused expenditures to rise considerably. This drove the budget deficit up, creating significant debt concerns. This resulted in a series of bruising debates with the Republican Congress. President Obama signed the <a href="/wiki/American_Taxpayer_Relief_Act_of_2012" title="American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012">American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012</a>, which included the expiration of the <a href="/wiki/Bush_tax_cuts" title="Bush tax cuts">Bush tax cuts</a> for high income earners and implemented a sequester (cap) on spending for the military and other discretionary categories of spending. Compared against a baseline where the Bush tax cuts were allowed to expire on schedule in 2010 for all levels of income, it significantly increased future deficits. Compared against the prior years, it significantly reduced the deficit and limited future cost increases. This law and the recovering economy lowered the deficit back to the historical average relative to GDP by 2014.<a href="#cite_note-RSKrugman1-1">[1]</a> With the economy recovering and major budget legislation behind him, President Obama began to shift to another priority, income and wealth <a href="/wiki/Income_inequality_in_the_United_States" title="Income inequality in the United States">inequality</a>. From 1950 to 1979, the top 1% earned roughly a 10% share of the income. However, this had risen to 24% by 2007, due to a combination of globalization, automation, and policy changes that weakened worker's bargaining position relative to capital (owners).<a href="#cite_note-ES1-15">[15]</a> He referred to the widening income gap as the "defining challenge of our time" during 2013.<a href="#cite_note-pbs.org-16">[16]</a> His tax increases on higher-income taxpayers raised their effective tax rates starting in 2013, helping address after-tax income inequality,<a href="#cite_note-CBO_IE2016-17">[17]</a> while job creation remained robust. <a href="/wiki/Wealth_inequality_in_the_United_States" title="Wealth inequality in the United States">Wealth inequality</a> had also risen similarly, with the share of wealth owned by the top 1% rising from 24% in 1979 to 36% by 2007.<a href="#cite_note-ES1-15">[15]</a> While U.S. household net worth rose nearly 30% from its pre-crisis peak in 2007 to 2016,<a href="#cite_note-FRED_HH-18">[18]</a> much of this gain went to the wealthiest Americans, as it had prior to his tenure. By 2015, the share of wealth owned by the top 1% reached 42%.<a href="#cite_note-ES1-15">[15]</a> President Obama also attempted to address inequality before taxes (i.e., market income), with infrastructure investment to create middle-class jobs and a federally-mandated increase in the minimum wage. While the latter was defeated by the Republican Congress, many states did increase their minimum wages, due in part to his support.<a href="#cite_note-RSKrugman1-1">[1]</a> During late 2015, the House and Senate, in rare bipartisan form, passed the largest infrastructure package in a decade, the <a href="/wiki/Fixing_America%27s_Surface_Transportation_Act" title="Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act">Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Atlantic_Infra15-19">[19]</a> The cumulative changes in several economic variables from the start of his tenure in January 2009 to late 2016 were: Stock markets +180%; Corporate profits +112%; Auto sales +85%; Home prices +24%; Real GDP +15%; Number of jobs +8%; and number of Americans without health insurance -39%.

From 1950 to 1979, the top 1% earned roughly a 10% share of the market or pre-tax income.

President Obama attempted both strategies, with some success in reducing both the pre-tax and after-tax share of income of the top 1% measured 2012 to 2013 (the most recent CBO data available as of December 2016), which means the share of income of the bottom 99% increased.<a href="#cite_note-CBO_IE2016-17">[17]</a> An alternate data series, from economists <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Piketty" title="Thomas Piketty">Piketty</a>, Saez, and Zucman (that includes 2014 data) also indicated that the income share of the top 1% both pre-tax and after-tax was lower in 2014 than 2012, indicating improved inequality.

While the Republican Congress did not support a federally-mandated increase in the minimum wage, 18 states did increase their minimum wages, benefiting an estimated 7 million workers, following the President's 2013 State of the Union speech calling for an increase.<a href="#cite_note-Obama_Inequality-2">[2]</a> During late 2015, the House and Senate, in rare bipartisan form, passed the largest infrastructure package in a decade, costing $305 billion over five years, less than the $478 billion in Obama's initial request.
