I would prefer an objective source to support your/Hannity's claim.
Reagen created jobs after 8 years - hardly a fair juxtaposition for Obama's economy.

When Reagan took office in January 1981 job growth had just come back to positive. Job growth rose until July and then in August 1981 returned to accelerated decline into negative numbers, going further negative than in the preceding recession. Total jobs did not return to their 1981 levels until June of 1983. The rise accelerated and leveled off around May 1984 Then During the first year of his second term growth declined for about a year, then rose back to more than 3 million new jobs a year.

Reagenomics is also what has lead to the current wealth disparity that the Occupy movement is currently protesting.
