[QUOTE="Borealis, post: 15989208, member: 20418"] Ah, but that would be a positive outlook on job growth, which is only legal if there is a Democrat in the White House to take the credit. 78,000 more jobs? That's pretty good, really. Sure, it's not 150,000. But it's a lot better than 78,000 FEWER jobs, isn't it? The following list is an amalgam of stats found from different web sites, including the Bureau of Labor; so far, I haven't found a complied list anywhere. If someone can find a more accurate list, feel free to correct this one. May 2005: 78000 Apr 2005: 274000 Mar 2005: 146000 Feb 2005: 243000 Jan 2005: 132000 Dec 2004: 133000 Nov 2004: 137000 Oct 2004: 303000 Sep 2004: 139000 Aug 2004: 128000 July 2004: 73000 Jun 2004: 78000 12 month total: 1864000 May 2004: 235000 Apr 2004: 346000 Mar 2004: 308000 (unrevised) Feb 2004: 46000 Here's something funny I found while compiling these numbers.
