Increased productivity will result in less new jobs being created for each additional dollar of production. For people who haven't become more productive this is rough, esp. when unskilled or moderately skilled job face fierce competition from abroad, and from illegal immigrants, and from other Americans with more skills and and a more efficient, extensive, and/or up to date capital base.

(Its not completely up to date it doesn't deal with Bush, or with the downturn at the end of the Clinton administration, because it was written before then. But many of the points still apply)

As for many of the jobs being government jobs, considering Bush' great increase in spending that isn't very surprising. Bush's inability to or unwillingness to control spending isn't the only thing that has disappointed me about Bush but its probably the biggest disappointment.

the Bush administration has demonstrated American contempt for the Geneva Convention
