Saying the job situation is lackluster is not doing it justice. It is much worse than lackluster. The few new jobs out there are lower paying jobs than the one that we have lost. Junior had to backtrack several times after he made predictions about how many new jobs would be created which proved to be unrealistic. The total number of people working is less than it was when junior took office. The biggest factor which actually gives you an idea of how the job situation is going is the percentage of the workforce who want jobs and have jobs. This number is higher than it has been for a long time. There are a lot of people out there whose unemployment benefits have ran out which are still out of work. Maybe this explains why so many of the neocon fascists voted not to extend the benefits. The people who needed them would have still been counted in with the other 5.6%.
