51st consecutive month of more jobs in America?

Question

This just makes me shiver in glee.

Wasn't "No new jobs by Bush", John Kerry's huge triumph?

Are people unaware that most progressive kids now days get jobs from age 13 and on... While the lazy fat ones stay at home and let illegal immigrants take jobs away from them?

With such a dastardly population growth... What happens to the gazillions of baby boomers dying or retiring... Do those jobs just dry up and evaporate?

Answer 1

B.I.M., You are putting the 'hurt' on the EXLAX sales !!! With news like this, the Leftys / Liberals are having shi*z fits.
They can not handle anything good about GWB !!!!
Can you just imagine the standing lines, for the commodes, at the "LIBERAL ARTS UNIVERSITIES"???
ROFLMAO about this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

It's called adaptation not fiscal planning. Remember all the chemical engineers who were laid off during the outsourcing craze? Well when all the product came back to the US it was garbage. They have to rehire everyone they fired to fix all the crappy work that resulted from outsourcing. I don't know if that's really adding new jobs as much as it is cutting jobs less.

I wish they'd factor in education and payscale into that statistic so that it would mean something. I can probably go get a job working as a day laborer but, that's not what I'd like to do for the rest of my life so, I'd only work there until I got a good job.

Answer 3

What your stats do not reflect are the number of jobs lost during that same time frame. Last info I read puts job added only about 2.5% above the number of jobs lost, it's almost a wash. Also you need to qualify those jobs gained. A $7.50 per hour job is a gain but who could live on that?

Answer 4

Being a recent college grad I can tell you the job prospects are great! Plus with the unemployment rate being so low, employers are competing for employees, meaning even more money and benefits for me. I was able to get a full employee position with good benefits right off the bat. And because I never bothered to take my resume down from various headhunter firms, I regularly get job offers from other companies.

While I don't think President Bush, or any president for that matter, has anything to do with the job market, I do think it's silly to deny the job market is strong just because you don't like the president.

Answer 5

Source?

Answer 6

Hello is anyone home?? There is a thing called POPULATION GROWTH. We need 150k new jobs every month just to keep up with new people entering the work force. Also people who give up on looking for work are not counted as unemployed. Another government lie.

Answer 7

But very few of those months has job creation kept up with new workers (young people) entering the workforce so Bush has had one of the lowest net job creation rates of any modern President.

On average,
Bush's economy has created 393,000 new jobs per year.

On average,Clinton created 2.75 million per year.

And it took Bush over 3 1/2 years to get a positive net job creation figure. (approx 300,000 additional jobs in his 1st term.) Those tax cuts really worked!

Answer 8

And are those all good jobs with decent benefits? And has every one of those 51 months seen as many jobs created as expected? And have there been no months where more jobs were lost than expected? Or are you telling only part of the story?

Answer 9

I agree with Madskier!

It is all Bush's fault!!! 4+ years of job creation, GDP expansion, success in Iraq and abroad, tax cuts, increasing exports, shrinking budget deficits, soaring stock market.

Gosh Darn that George Bush!!!

P.S. I am a recent college graduate, and I found a job as an investment adviser and continue to get job offers everyday. Makes me think that if the poster above me got a burger-flipping job with a college degree that maybe that is the job she wants or the one she is most qualified for. If you don't like your job, then change it! At 4.7% unemployment and new jobs created every month, there are plenty of other jobs out there!!!

Answer 10

Over 1 million US jobs lost as a direct result of Bush's do not call legislation.

Answer 11

Well it was Kerry's lame attempt, you see what it got him, a footnote in History. So far all the Bush Haters can do is "claim" he and Cheney are corrupt but everything he does, seems to be working. I might point out that the surge is doing splendid at this time also.

Check it out: Now the liberals want you to define how "good" the jobs are and what benefits they receive. Seems when Clinton made these reports it was a job is a job... beats unemployment.....
