The economy is improving, and the forecasts are good for 2004 and 2005 with forecasts of 2-3 million jobs created for each of these years. The question is will most of the jobs be at your local Walmart?

Re: walmart... I think so.
And besides we've got 3 million jobs to make up for, lost in the last 3 years as well as 4 million underemployed.

This ecnomomy needs to add more than John Snow's projected 150K/month jobs in order to thrive for the average citizen (mulitnational corps, of course are living the good life right now). Many economists think Snow is erring to the upside with his 150K/month jobs projections, and anyway all this does is keep up with attrition.
