We should keep track of major media and give each one that actually tells the whole story 5 points.... My guess is that there will be very few points actually awarded, sad as that is. >>>>>>>>The real number you should focus on is this one: Total employment in America rose by 629,000 to 139.66 million people in July, based on the government's Household Survey, which is also the data on which the official unemployment rate is based. Unemployment dropped a tenth of a percent in July. <<<<<<< >>>>>>>In Jaunary 2001, the month that George W. Bush took office, 135,999,000 Americans had jobs. By October of that year, the number of Americans with jobs had slumped to 134,562,000 - as the sudden negative economic impact of the 9/11 attacks combined with the economic slowdown that began almost a year before Bush took office (with the stock market collapse in April 2000) to cause unemployment to surge. Today, 139,660,000 Americans have jobs, more than at any time in our nation's history. I blame the Bush tax cuts.<<<<<<<< KLP Note: That looks like an increase of number of people working is 3,661,000 in the 3 1/2 years of the Bush Administration....
