Artificail Recovery;Real Job Losses
Bureau of Labor Statistics list 133,000 new jobs

Leisure and hospitality accounted for 42,000 jobs most waitresses and bar tenders
Education and health services schools back in accounted for 24,000 jobs
Professional and business services account for 43,000

And again Manufacting lost another 15,000 jobs

Bush smaller Government he promised employs 7.7 million more people than does manufacturing.Lile wonder we have an 800 billion annual trade deficit,when the government sector is larger than the manufacturing sector.

Bush wonders why Iraq and our troops are not winning his War.
Every war this country has fought and won .Has been because of our industrial might.
Bush and the replugs have outsource our jobs and military might
Just one vets opinion

1. Part time
Do you want the morning, afternoon, or evening shift? Oh, I'm not just talking about service industry, but accountants, IT, teachers, secretaries. You name it.

Pay less by the hour, and of course, NO BENEFITS.

3. How much has the population increased?
Isn't there a certain amount of jobs simply r/t population increases?

4. My understanding right now
The 25 States who have lost manufacturing jobs are some of the most populated states

5. I live in Michigan and am grossly "underemployed"
If you are correct (not doubting you) then the job losses vs. gains would be even greater than the figures indicate ... I do believe that there is a certain amount of job "creation" associated with population gains (service sector)
