re:"3 million jobs" Some of these numbers have turned positive (source BLS)... Employed persons (unadjusted): Jan 2001 - 136,181,000 Feb 2001 - 136,577,000 May 2004 - 138,867,000 Employed persons (seasonally adjusted): Jan 2001 - 137,790,000 Feb 2001 - 137,581,000 May 2004 - 138,772,000 number of employees - non farm payrolls (seasonally unadjusted): Jan 2001 - 130,433,000 Feb 2001 - 131,098,000 Apr 2004 - 130,975,000 May 2004 - 131,914,000 (it seems as though this number jumps up like this every Apr-May) Note the seasonally adjusted number of payroll employees is still less than Jan-Feb 2001.
