OT--Something that hasn't made the news
 

Since June 2003, the economy has seen 27 straight months of net job
gains...yielding a *net* gain of 4,172,000 jobs over that same period.


In the last 18 months alone, we've added 3,533,000 jobs.

Since the election, we've added 1,837,000 jobs.

The unemployment rate stands at 4.9%...which is exactly where it was prior
to 9/11.

Unfortunately, Katrina will probably have a negative impact on the numbers
for the next few months.

Crappy Bush jobs for the most part, not real jobs that pay good wages,
provide decent benefits, and support a family.

Hmmmm. I don't see that commentary anywhere on the non-partisan www.bls.gov
website. The only thing that I can find on their site is strong employment
numbers for almost 2 1/2 years.

Interesting graph. If you take it back to 1977, you will note that the
only times we had net job loss, a Republican was in the White House.
Damn, who would have thought?

Yeah, but these are all minimum wage jobs, according to the libs. They never
seem to get the idea that there must be *some* decent paying jobs developed,
just to supervise all the minimum wage earners!

Net job loss? Over what time period?

When I look at the graph, I consistently see a downward slope in the numbers
starting in the year preceding when a Republican took office.

You see what you want to see. Harken back, if you will, to Bus101, and run
that graph back many additional years. What you see is the ever present
business cycle at work, inevitable and immutable.

Thank you and I would agree. When it comes to the economy, Presidents get
far more credit/blame than they deserve. Now, if you could just get NOYB
to see the light.

Indeed they do see what they want to see. Unfortunately your effort to
explain a natural phenomenon such as a business cycle in non-partisan terms
is ultimately wasted on the armchair partisan political hacks that populate
this forum. They genuinely believe that all that happens - good or bad - is
directly the result of the policies of the party leaders that they either
love or hate. All good comes from my side of the aisle, all bad comes from
the other. Such is their sad polarized view of the world. What a
dreadfully tedious drumbeat to march to.

Holy ****, talk about SPIN!!! I just love how you pick and choose just
exactly which statistics you prefer to post and believe!!!!! I take it
that you didn't look at the whole labor picture? I also like how you
take a specifice period that is only when bushco has been president to
use as a model for your "net gain".
