Want to See The Bush Job Projection Numbers ?

Job Watch -

On October 21, The New York Times reported that Treasury Secretary John
Snow projected that the economy will generate two million additional jobs,
about 200,000 per month, before next years election. This new number
is a huge retreat from the administrations previous projection made
when it was selling its tax cuts. In February the Council of Economic Advisers
projected 306,000 per month job growth starting in mid-2003 if the tax cuts
were passed and roughly 228,000 jobs created per month without the tax cuts.

It takes 170,000 new jobs each month just to provide jobs for an expanding population
and workforce and 300,000 new jobs each month to lower the unemployment rate by one
percentage point over the course of a year.

2. Oh I forgot here is the benchmark site I use
http://www.florida.computerjobs.com/

During Clinton there were 2400 jobs per day. Now just over 400. Mainly computer jobs and a lot of dups both then and now.

IMHO, the economy is coming back when this site has 1,000 plus jobs per day....
