The city has also seen the highest job growth since 2007, with 25,000 more Bostonians going to work in 2014, lowering the unemployment rate to 5.2 percent. Walsh took aim the city’s public education system, saying families deserved not to be let down by its schools. “1m proud of what we have accomplished, but I'm far from satisfied. We have alot to do,” said Walsh. “My plan for Boston's future begins in its schools... We have to do better, we will do better.” The US.
