Tenchusatsu, Some data for the Don and Tejek's : Unemployment was at 5.6 % on 2003. The Dems were pointing at that number and howling that the economy was was tanking in the hopes to get JFKerry elected. The lefties were willing to say anything to get W out of office including placing our soldiers in harms way with their verbal trashing of anything GOP. Look at the %'s now and listen to the silence from Wassermen Schultz. All they have is more trashing of a man who has been out of office for 2.5 years. Under Bush's first 4 years : The Facts Show Increase of Jobs Under Bush Paige McKenzie, NewsMax.com Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2004 The media and Democrats keep repeating it over and over: "2.3 million jobs lost" since President Bush took office. His could be the worst job record since before World War II, they claim. One little problem: It's not true. Not only has there been no net loss of jobs during the Bush administration, there has been a net gain, even with the devastation of 9/11. At least 2.4 million jobs have been created since the president took office, 2 million of those in 2003. The gains more than offset the losses. While Democrats continue to beat their election-year drums about outsourcing, manufacturing losses, unemployment and slow growth in employment, America’s economy has been steadily creating jobs. At least 366,000 jobs have been created in the last five months, over 100,000 of those in January, White House press secretary Scott McClellan has noted. And though the eight-month recession “officially” ended in November, economic indicators are surprising economists and pointing toward a take-off in the recovery. The signs: The 5.6 percent unemployment rate is the lowest in two years and below the average of the 1980s (7.3 percent) and '90s (5.8 percent), and still continues to drop. The nation's economic output revealed the strongest quarterly growth in 20 years. The data for the fourth quarter of 2003 show that the civilian labor force rose by 333,000, while the number of unemployed in the labor force dropped by 575,000, and the number of so-called discouraged workers is less than .3 percent of the workforce, according to Paul Kersey of the Heritage Foundation. Consumer spending grew between 4 percent and 5 percent last year, and real hourly earnings rose 1.5 percent. Real earnings have risen over the last three years. Exports doubled to 19 percent in the fourth quarter, compared to less than 9 percent in the third. The number of American workers is at an all-time high of 138.5 million, a level never before attained in U.S. history. Jobless claims are 10 percent below the average of the last 25 years and still falling. Hiring indices are up, even in manufacturing. Productivity growth is extremely high. Now the doomsayers are criticizing the validity of the unemployment rate, which at 5.6 percent does not fit their gloomy story. What does Obama have planned ? More government expansion and more tax and reg for the private sector. Whats wrong with a big dose of PelosiReidObama sugar for the economic gas tank ? SDG
