Romney was on Saturday in another vital state Florida, practicing for the next debate showdown with Obama on October 16.
Obama was off the trail, but he will head out on a campaign and fundraising swing through California on Sunday.
Poll watchers were meanwhile keeping an eye on new opinion surveys to gauge if Romney had cut into the narrow lead held by Obama in the national race and in key battleground states.
The full impact of the debate and the jobs figures are not likely to be felt in surveys until the middle of next week, though there was signs in some early polls that Romney had made headway in Virginia.
The two campaigns meanwhile took their latest hits at one another in new advertising, with the Obama team accusing Romney of being “dishonest” in the Denver debate on his true taxation plans.
Romney’s punch meanwhile featured a woman called Melanie McNamara who said she voted for Obama in 2008 but was now going Republican because she believed the former Massachusetts governor was the best bet to restore prosperity.
“I am disappointed in Barack Obama as my president because he promised to bring us all together, that we are all going to be able to prosper. I don’t see the prospering,” said McNamara.
