Enough of what? Your idiocy?

Here are the average hourly earnings as of last month in the "high paying" manufacturing sector, and the "low paying" service sector and education & health subsector:

Manufacturing - $16.82
Services - $16.45
Educ. & Health - $17.42

And below is a picture of the number of employed persons in the US - a gain of 6.8 million from January 2001 and a 4.3 million gain in the last 19 months. Not bad considering that Bush inherited a recession that cost us two million jobs in 2001 alone and that his tax cuts didn't even take effect until a couple of years later.



Any more brilliant questions?
