Ace Of Spades - September Jobs: Only 96,000
Another month of growth, but of the disappointing kind.

On the other hand, the March-to-March figures were revised upwards by 236,000:

Labor also said that, according to preliminary estimates, the economy added about 236,000 more jobs than previously thought in the year ended March 2004 and it will incorporate the change into benchmark revisions it issues next February.
As a result after including the projected change, it appears that about 585,000 jobs have been lost since President Bush took office in January 2001.

A better number than 913,000, to be sure. But since Kerry and the Democrats continue to allege over a million jobs lost, don't expect them to also revise their numbers.
