Jobs Still Missing From Economic Recovery
LEIGH STROPE
Associated Press

WASHINGTON - Democrats are using the ghost of Herbert Hoover to taunt
President Bush, who so far has the worst jobs growth record of any
president since the Great Depression.

With the economic recovery in full swing, the hiring gains that typically follow have not. The economy lost 2.6 million jobs since Bush took office - 1 percent in the private sector alone.

Every president since Hoover has seen the economy add jobs. That puts Bush on track to post the worst jobs record in nearly 70 years.

Polls show Americans are worried about jobs, and many disapprove of the way Bush has handled the economy.

1. How about the Carter years

I had thought that unemployment was quite high in the Carter years. Is this artical saying that jobs increased during the Carter years?
