Ah yes the infamous one sided outsourced jobs that doesn't take into account the in sourced jobs and New jobs created by small businesses.

During the Bush administration our job count has grown by about 5.5 Million. that's about 2.5 million out sources and 8 million in sourced or created new.

The Bush admin holds the checklist for the longest run of jobs further in consecutive months. it began in Aug 03- and gained 8.3 million. Wages have been up each and every twelve months. In his first term the shrink exchange into 821,000 jobs. in the process the 2nd term the variety is around 2.2 million- maximum of those have been in the previous 2 months, so there are actually not any figures yet on how many have chanced on different employment. the two way however, the president has an extremely tiny effect on employment expenditures- that's as much as indiviual companies, what their provider/ stable is, the financial device, the purchasers, the guidelines made by congress and state government- not the president. EDIT: specific, the valid unemployment chart for the previous 30 years is Republicans speaking out their ssssssss's? as a count of certainty nonetheless the certainty somewhat you have confidence it or not. that's gloomy those that in basic terms come on right here and positioned up hogwash without genuine foundation and no regard for examine is what you opt for to make certain through fact it suits with your perspectives. that is not significant in case you like Bush or not or for in spite of reason that's- yet a minimum of do not bash him on something that's not even the certainty.

that sucking sound of jobs being ripped out of the country and away from American workers started with the Clinton Administration removing the pay cap for CEO's like the ones that are putting the Auto industry into the toilet. If the average everyday guy did that horrible of a job they would be fired. Everything compounds from one administration to the next. Bush inherited a country that Clinton set up to fail as Clinton inherited a country that Reagan and Bush the 1st made successful. The same happened before and after the depression. We will not feel the effects of the Bush administration until during or after Obama takes office and he will either get he credit for making it better or worse depending on which way the cards fall.

Contrary to the predictions of its supporters, China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO) has failed to reduce its trade surplus with the United States or increase overall U.S. employment. The rise in the U.S. trade deficit with China between 1997 and 2006 has displaced production that could have supported 2,166,000 U.S. jobs. Most of these jobs (1.8 million) have been lost since China entered the WTO in 2001. Between 1997 and 2001, growing trade deficits displaced an average of 101,000 jobs per year, or slightly more than the total employment in Manchester, New Hampshire. Since China entered the WTO in 2001, job losses increased to an average of 353,000 per year—more than the total employment in greater Akron, Ohio. Between 2001 and 2006, jobs were displaced in every state and the District of Columbia. Nearly three-quarters of the jobs displaced were in manufacturing industries. Simply put, the promised benefits of trade liberalization with China have been unfulfilled.

As a matter of policy, China tightly pegs its currency's value to that of the dollar at a rate that encourages a large bilateral surplus with the United States. Maintaining this peg required the purchase of about $200 billion in U.S. Treasury Bills and other securities in 2006 alone.1 This intervention makes the yuan artificially cheap and provides an effective subsidy on Chinese exports; best estimates are that the rate of this effective subsidy is roughly 40%. China also engages in extensive suppression of labor rights; it has been estimated that wages in China would be 47% to 85% higher in the absence of labor repression. China has also been accused of massive direct subsidization of export production. Finally, it maintains strict, non-tariff barriers to imports. As a result, China's exports to the United States of $288 billion in 2006 were six times greater than U.S. exports to China, which were only $52 billion (Table 1). China's trade surplus was responsible for 42.6% of the United States' total, non-oil trade deficit. This is by far the United States' most imbalanced trading relationship. Unless and until China revalues (raises) the yuan and eliminates these other trade distortions, the U.S. trade deficit and job losses will continue

There was a net gain of about 5 million -- double the amount Obama first said he'd create until he backtracked and said that was the amount he might be able to save.

Wow! The rate of unemployment in 2001 was 4.2%. Now it's 5.6!!!!! But apparently, just this December, 1000 jobs were accumulated... 149,000 expected jobs less than some experts predicted! WOW!!!!! JANUARY 20!!!!!!!!!!

Actually under Bush we had 51 months of continuous job growth.

There was 4.2% unemployment when Bush entered his office in 2000. There was a 1.4% increase during just his first year in office. Now it's climbed 6.7%.

It was about 500,000 jobs lost last month. and Justrach, it's kinda hard to get over the fact that one doesn't have a job.

Why dwell on the past?

Bush is leaving and the one GOOD thing he did was leave the Republican party in shambles.

The Republicans hate the other Republicans more than they hate the Democrats.

Sahah Pailin 2012 !!!!!
