<<There is a difference, and it would be good to add more jobs>>

Good? It's crucial. How will we ever grow tax revenue and reduce the deficit without adding more jobs? The deficit will only get worse with this sub-standard job creation.

Think about it. Stagnant job growth and a growing labor force is a recipe for disaster.

<<A robust economy with good growth is what does that, and those conditions seem to be here.>>

Then where are the jobs?

<<But it is disingenous to suggest that if someone can afford to not work, and choses not to do so that this person is in huge misery. If they were, then they would keep looking for work.>>

This really isn't the point. If the economy can't produce enough jobs to keep up with its working age population, that economy is failing and the government will go further and further in debt.
