Bush dug a really deep hole in terms of job losses

[ProSense]

This jobs chart really contrasts Bush's last year to Obama's first, a complete reversal.

1. Yes he did

K&R

2. If this was a GOP admin, the media would be telling us we're back in business

Instead they're acting as if the problem has never been worse.

8. LOL

I see that EXACT thought posted here EVERYDAY.

Many many DUers think we are in worse condition now than under Bush. It's all over the forum.

How can this be the DU when there are so many saying Obama dug a deeper hole ?

3. Yes he did. n/t

4. This is something the MSN don't want people to see n/t

5. Note the line at 150,000

It's important.

6. Is that how many jobs are needed to break even?

Accounting for growth in the labor pool? Or something else?

I know there are 1.2 Million immigrants entering the country each year, so with birth rates that would seem about right?

[depakid]

7. Yep

[trusty elf]

9. When Bush comes to shovel...

Monthly Job Creation Graph By President and Party

Many Americans are aware that George W. Bush has had the worst job creation record since the government began tracking these figures in 1939. But Bush's colossal failure to manage the economy overshadows a much larger story.


The record shows two unmistakable patterns:
Every time a Republican succeeds a Democrat in the White House, the job creation rate plummets.
Every time a Democrat succeeds a Republican in the White House, the job growth rate soars. Every time! No exceptions!


Over the last seventy years, the decrease in monthly job creation when a Republican succeeds a Democrat is 68,913

Considering the steady growth in population of the United States during this time frame the job creation rate should steadily increase each month (currently it must grow by 138,000 per month to keep up with population growth). This trend only manifests itself when examining Democratic administrations:

Listed below is the average job growth increase for all terms served:
