Politico is reporting the quiet release of the White House’s annual salaries report.

Obama is doing his part to grow the economy and add jobs, because the numbers are UP:

A quick review found the White House payroll appears to have grown since last year, going from $37.1 million in 2011 to $37.8 million in 2012. The number of employees listed also grew — from 454 last year to 468 in 2012.

White House officials did not immediately respond to a message seeking explanation of the growth. Overall, the payroll has shrunk since 2009, when it totaled $39.1 million.
