yes arun, but the internet for the first time enabled offshoring of service sector jobs, and that began almost exactly in the first year of bush's term. The problem is the "service sector" includes all the white collar jobs, engineers and accountants and such. if you start offshoring those away, which we did, you are also offshoring all the new economy stuff plus the manufacturing from before, you have nothing left. Why make such a big deal? Look at this chart. Bush in this last 8 years created fewer jobs than DWIGHT EISENHOWER or HARRY TRUMANS term, when the US economy was 1/3 the size. TRUMAN created 6 times the jobs as Bush. Truman!!!! As far as how many indians have cell phones, who cares? India's economy is the size of California. We gave way more away than we got back with this equation, and fortunately the democrats know it. President Jobs created Jobs at end of term Jobs at start of term Payroll expansion Jobs created per year in office Population growth Percent change in population George W.
