Actually, the civilian work force has grown at a rate of 99K people per month during Bush's Presidency.

Be that as it may, it has been a spotty jobs recovery. Most macro economists don't blame Bush, though, as I'm sure you are implying. Most blame it on a massive bubble bursting and a massive structural change in the global economy that has seen U.S. jobs get sucked to India and China, as well as seen major U.S. industries like auto, airline, garment, and technology suffer some serious cutbacks.

job creation has underperformed prior recoveries,

Jobs in austin are generally construction (of the new toll roads) and are open only to experienced management and illegal aliens. There is demand for heath care para-professionals. Tech sector jobs used to fill two pages of the sunday paper, now they fill about 4 inches in one column. The entire employment section of the sunday paper now tops out at 4 pages. There is always an ad to join the army.
