Since Bush has taken over, not one single month job creation has even come clsoe to job loss, but tis touted as brimming success. Since only people are counted jobless for a couple of month, the majority of jobless people, growing now to 14%, is not mentioned in offfical statements. Other countries do it, why not the USA?

historically 240,000 jobs is what is created in an "average" month in the US
166,000 is not a good month no matter how you measure it, unless of course you compare it with the 388,000 lost the month before
the last 6 years we have been way under the normal 240,000 jobs per month average set by Reagan, Bush 1 and Clinton

You are talking strategy vs. immediate jerk off reaction. I agree with you that the current administration record on jobs is disastrous. In fact Democratic presidents have had a better job growth on average then a Republican ones; I will go further among the jobs created Democrats created more jobs in the private sector, as the percentage of total jobs , then Republicans.
But 166k jobs this time is analyzed as a comparison to expectation of 80k. Then it is great. Just 166K is not so great , considering the we need at least apx 150k per month just to satisfy the population growth.
jack_98 you are factually wrong the highest unemployment level was under Reagan 10.8% in 1982

Beacuse the Bush admininstration thinks that lies will turn into truths and if they tell us everything is fine it will be. The realities we see, they think out will materialize into something they are not if they just say they will. They live in a fantasy world of manipulation. We live in America.
Our economy is in trouble, the growth is not on the ground, in our America. It is in board rooms and on wall street. Real wage growth in the USA has been declining for 30 years against inflation. The fed funnels more cheap funny money into the economy while the dollar is diluted in value around the world. All that remains of the American economy now is debt.
Recession is comming, buck up or get hurt.

Because SSSHHH be quiet the republicans dont want anybody to know the truth. I totaly agree with you. Look at this job fact just in the manufacturing sector alone. 3.8 million manufacturing jobs lost since bush jr. 2001

I dont feel like looking it up right now but are you sure the numbers of new jobs isnt one that reflects that the "job loses" have been cancelled out plus and additional 166,000 new jobs on top of that? If the total lossed is always more than the total gained, we'd have a much higher unemployment rate.

14% unemployment ? that's just false. We haven't had that level of unemployment since Jimmy Carter was President. The current level is 4.7%, which is a level that liberal economists used to teach was unsustainable, but surprise ! once again they were wrong, and the growth continues. Liberals are consumed with envy and disappointment with America's continued success. Oh, and by the way, EVERY time we have EVER reduced marginal tax rates, the economy gets stronger and we collect more taxes from rich people. And the liberals get even crazier.

Those jobs created were mainly in the service sector paying minimum wage. Those lost were in the manufacturing sector and paid union wages and benefits. I see nothing great about the 166,000 new jobs.
