HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Apparently you BIZARELY believe that the population can grow by nearly 3 million persons a year... and NOT require new jobs for those people.) Also, you conveniently IGNORE the statistical quirks and methodology of the Labor Department's Labor Survey --- which drops from it's numbers everyone who reaches the end of their unemployment benefits, and has a series of other statistical manipulations which serve to ASSUME PHANTOM JOB CREATION (for example: they assume that people who leave the employment of large corporations have in fact STARTED UP THEIR OWN COMPANIES OR SOLE PROPRIETORSHIPS). Fortunately the Census Department's numbers are far less problematic: nearly 3 million persons added to the economy each year now (we are approaching a population of 300 million) and most reputable economists calculate that job growth of approximately 2 million per year is currently required to just keep even with the population growth.
