Reply #13: Actual numbers: 1,123,000 fewer jobs in August than June

[TahitiNut]

Jobs continue to lag behind workforce growth. It must be remembered that August 2003, 12 months ago, marked the low point for employment. This is why the Bushbots continue to talk about "improvements" since that point. Yet the most recent employment numbers indicate that there are only about 1.5% more people employed in August 2004 than August 2003, when an increase of 2.0% would be needed to merely stay even with workforce and population growth.

This doesn't even rise to a "gentleman's 'C'" - it's a failure.

If employment is the life's blood of the body politic, the hemorrhaging caused by this Ebola Cabal has only slowed due to clotting.
