-3,000,000 + 236,000 = -2,764,000




Bull**** numbers...even if you use the flawed Payroll Survey data.

First 32 months of Bush's Presidency=-2.546 million jobs
Last 7 months=+759,000 jobs

So you're only off by about 1 million jobs. The economy needs to average a
gain of 223,375 jobs per month (plus 1) from here on out for Bush's
Presidency to show a net gain in jobs. Then what will your argument be?

Extract
The average monthly gain in jobs in the past eight months
has been about 95,000 — far below the 150,000 to 200,000
jobs needed to absorb new entrants into the labor force,
Sohn said. Like last month, the unemployment rate could rise
in coming months as workers decide to resume their job
searches.
