Corporations keep overseas job figures a closely-guarded secret
Many of the same corporations that have been seeking tax breaks for creating jobs in the United States are jealously guarding their figures on how many of their jobs are actually created overseas.

The Washington Post reported Sunday, "So secretive are these companies that they hand the figure over to government statisticians on the condition that officials will release only an aggregate number. The latest data show that multinationals cut 2.9 million jobs in the United States and added 2.4 million overseas between 2000 and 2009."

The Bush tax cuts for the rich in America do create jobs, in sweatshops in southeast asia.
