Why are so many people EMPLOYED in this BUSH Economy?

Question

Our economy has created 1.6 million jobs in the last 12 months, and 8.22 million since August 2003 when the labor market began its turnaround. Private employment increased by 24,000 jobs in August, marking the 48th consecutive month of private job growth. The unemployment rate remained VERY VERY low at 4.6 percent, below the average of each of the past four decades!

Thanks GWB!

Answer 1

That's what happens when you cut taxes and give people a hand up instead of a typical Democrat handout.

Answer 2

All those supposed jobs are probably government jobs. As you know, Bush has done a excellent job doubleling the size of government. They are always hiring at the police departments, Blackwater USA, Armed Forces, etc.

But as for private sector jobs, you have got to be joking!

Now, since you are capable of research, then I suggest you research how many times congress had to raise the debt ceiling under Bush. And while you are at it, look into how much we are spending and how much we are taking in with revenue. If you just balance a simple check book, you will finally take your head out of the sand and notice that the jobs are going bye bye. In short, we are spending ourselves to death.

Answer 3

Your numbers are actually kind of questionable. The unemployment rate does not necessarily reflect the actual employment rank. It does not reflect the high numbers of workers in minimun wage positions either. It is not enough to cite numbers of jobs created. You need also to show the types of jobs that have been created. Unemployment figures do not count people that do not reecieve unemplyment, but mat actually be unemployed, such as those on welfare and homeless people that recieve no aid at all.

Answer 4

Because a 150 thousand soldier are sent off to Iraq and another million jobs to create supplies for the war have been created in the US to support the war.

The current economy is only because the current government is directly overspending.

Answer 5

The truth is in the details. Many of these jobs are part time, don't offer affordable health insurance or benefits and many don't pay like those that have been outsourced, that's why they were outsourced. Our imports outweigh our exports. Exports= good paying manufacturing jobs, of which we have lost millions. Taking things at face value can be dangerous!

Answer 6

Yeah and how is that sub prime economy working for ya ?
Kind of like the Bush administration, all shiney and bright on the outside, but on closer examination, its all smoke and mirrors. You have any idea how much we have BORROWED from China to pay for Bush's war?
Your grand kids, grand kids will still be paying for it.

Meanwhile all indications are we are headed into a recession.

Thanks GWB.

Answer 7

The backbone of the US economy has been the auto industry. And the unemployment/jobloss rates for the auto industry alone are at the highest levels in their entire history.

Michigan , the auto capital, used to lead the nation is lowest number of unemployed. Now they are one of the highest in unemployed.

The unemployment rate has gone up since Bush has been in office. And this is coming from someone who twice voted for the moron.

Answer 8

This isn't a Bush economy. It's a congressional and Federal Reserve economy. It always has been. Bush will just take credit for it.

Answer 9

Penelope-the United States lost 4.000 jobs in August,when it was expected to increase by 100,000 and has increased economists worries that the economy is headed for recession

Exactly what fantasy land do you live in?

Answer 10
