you can see the 3 million jobs gone on the BLS site though.

The problem is that I know, and many others know that we have created millions of jobs in this recovery. The problem is these jobs are not being created here, instead the jobs are going to india and china. This is not good for the economy despite the spin from the conservatives. I am starting to notice people like Lou Dobbs address this jobs exodus issue with a negative spin, which is deserved. The "jobs are a lagging indicator" BS is getting old.

But let me ask you, how many jobs do you think are going to be lost in the payroll report this friday? This says 30,000. Considering that the "recovery" has been underway for 2 years, how many jobs lost would be a bad sign?

The jobs report, due at 0830 EDT (1230 GMT) on Friday, is expected to show companies shed 30,000 jobs in September, after a fall of 93,000 in August.
