BUSH ALERT- 308,000 jobs lost last month alone! Does anyone think he really deserves re-election??

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. economy last month suffered its worst jobs drop since the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks, as worries over an Iraq (news - web sites) war led companies to put the brakes on hiring.

Payrolls plunged 308,000 in February, the Labor Department (news - web sites) said on Friday. It was the biggest slide since a 327,000 drop in November 2001, just after the deadly hijack attacks on the World Trade Center. The jobless rate rose to 5.8 percent in February from 5.7 percent in January.
