In 2003, Over 87,000 Jobs Were Created. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 1/6/10)

But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) Criticized 2003 Job Creation As “Far From Enough.” “The slight increase in jobs last month is wonderful news for 57,000 Americans. But the 2.1 million Americans who have been actively looking for work for more than two years … know that it is far from enough …” (Rep. Nancy Pelosi, “Pelosi: ‘Slight Jobs Increase Far From Enough -- We Must Do More to Create Jobs and Growth,’” Press Release (http://www.house.gov/pelosi/press/releases/Oct03/MustDoMoreToCreateJobs100303.html - broken link), 10/3/03)

I think this one is priceless

In 2006, Over 2.1 Million Jobs Were Created. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 1/6/10)
  • But Pelosi Claimed Bush Policies “Favored The Privileged Few At The Expense Of America’s Working Families.” (Rep. Nancy Pelosi, “Democrats Will Restore the Economic Security of America’s Working Families,” Press Release, 9/22/06)

Uh, why was the creation of 87,000 jobs wonderful news for only 57,000 Americans?

Todays news: UPS plans to cut 1,800 jobs, boosts fourth-quarter earnings forecast..

As I proclaimed previously, the market is going up at the expense of the employees, and the market is no indicator of an economic recovery..

The unemployment rate was unchanged in December at 10%: employers shed 85,000 jobs..

Keep shedding jobs, eventually we'll hit a bottom and liberals can proclaim a recovery..

Because it takes time to recover from a 2 million + job loss we had in during Bush's last 3 months in office..... You aren't going to go from a 2 million + job loss in a 3 month period to creating jobs overnight.

The 57,000 jobs Pelosi was referring to was for one month, 87,000 was the total for the entire year.....

Probably because they're too busy laughing at your attempted evidence.

During Bush's entire Presidency...there was a NET 2335 jobs created.

Nice job there Bushies. Nice job.

Bureau of Labor Statistics Data

Same link...complete data. Too funny.

There is no need, everything that happened within the time frame you're talking about happened during a bubble.

It's similar to how people ***** about how the gov't doesn't create jobs, this is similar.
