It's not a surprise that jobs and the economy featured prominently in President Barack Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday. But still, Obama mentioned the word "jobs" 46 times in speech, more than he did for any of his prior presidential addresses, signifying what will be the focus of his second term. (Last year's tally was 43, and from 2009-2011, his mentions of "jobs" were only in the teens and 20s.)
