During Clinton's eight years, some 22 million jobs were added to the

compared to the number of jobs created during the Clinton years.
Once again, your numbers are wrong. There have been 1.512 million jobs
created in the last 10 months...even if you use the flawed Payroll
Survey
Data. The number of "lost jobs" never reached 3 million. I believe it
was
2.6 million at its highest. Nearly 1.5 million of those were lost in
the 6
months after 9/11 due to particularly extraordinary circumstances.
You're still using the wrong terms, fella. There was no net job gain as
a result of the Bush Administration. The Bush Administration is still in
the "lost jobs" column and will be through the elections. The number of
jobs in this country now is less than it was during the Clinton years,
The number of jobs in this country now is *more* than it was during the
Clinton years is you look at the Household Survey Data. As opposed to the
Payroll Survey Data, the Household Survey Data includes the self-employed,
and those people employed in new companies that don't yet show up in the
Payroll Survey Data. I know how you hate to be bored with facts, but I
suggest you go to the BLS's website.

If you look at Chart #1, you will see that according to the Household Survey
data, there are approximately 139 million people employed right now. When
Clinton left office there were approximately 137 million. If you look at
the "adjusted household data", you'll see that the number of currently
employed is *still* higher than was employed when Clinton took office.
during which 22 million jobs were added to the economy.
Bush can't get us back to the total during the Clinton years...there has
been NO job gain under Bush. None. Zip. Zilch.
Wrong again. Look at the facts. Without the facts, you're just spewing
Bull****.
