Economy: strange figgers; weird figgers The QandO Blog Posted by: Jon Henke One year ago... <<< President Bush edged away Wednesday from his own administration's prediction that the U.S. economy will add 2.6 million new jobs before the end of this year. >>> He was right to back away. 2004 didn't see 2.6 million new jobs. But adjust this a few months this way -- March '04-March '05 -- and you'd have a number pretty close to that... <<< Nonfarm payroll employment increased by 262,000 in February and the unem-ployment rate edged up to 5.4 percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. >>> This means payroll employment has risen "by 2.4 million over the past year". Not too far off from the figure John Kerry called "far-fetched promises". Tangentially, it's remarkable how similiar the graph of this recovery looks when compared to the post-91 recession recovery... qando.net
