Jeez Beaches. 
1. All performance is relative. But your original post says the Liberals do better than the NDP in economic management. You must  now admit after reading this report they clearly do not. Or are you seriously sticking to a dogmatic Liberal assumption/bias without hard evidence ?
2. Most people would agree that having smaller deficits than others is good. Not having a bigger surplus than others is bad. It "depends' is a cop out. 
3. Job growth is good. Nobody really cares if its public or private and in reality  both often operate hand in hand. There is absolutely no reason to consider private job creation economically superior. Sometimes it is. Often it is not. In fact considering salary, job security, the public good, local benefits and services for citizens and not shareholders who may not live here, one could argue public job creation is qualitatively better for the local economy.
