What is the source of the claim Obama increased government jobs by 800,000?

Every report I have seen stated the numbers of government jobs has decreased.

1. I hope it's true we could use more jobs.
2. I think it was on CNN or in the NY TIMES. But Obama said he will shrink Govt jobs 200,000 of them in a 20 year period, when he won't be president anymore.
3. The one that I know of for sure is the requirement for 16,000 new IRS agents...this is part of the obamacare scandal.
4. http://www.recovery.gov/Pages/default.aspx Has every dime spent, how many jobs etc.... Which government hired them with the money etc. I guess the confusing point is when a civilian contractor gets a job working for the government does that make them a government employee? When anti-administration people count it and want to say they are government jobs they are. When they want to count them as privatized government jobs when the are pro-administration they are.
5. Maybe their going on the facts that in D.C. the unemployment rate is 4%
6. Well there is no doubt in my mind he created 800,000 jobs since he got elected, but what you won't hear is the majority of them were temporary.
7. They decreased along with the hope of unemployment being fixed by the trillions of dollars Obama and Company spent designed to create jobs, but is destroying America instead.
8. I do not know the total number of government job gains, but this article shows hundreds of thousands. I hope this helps. http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/44662
