What I would like to know and understand is this: If the labor has been going down for the past twenty years, if read you correctly. Then why is president Bush getting all the blame for something that has been happening through out the years. I look at stuff like this, is does not matter what your status(meaning, republic, or democratic): The president will always get backlashed, and criticized. I feel sorry for him. He is doing his best and all anyone can do is criticize him. It sickens me.

That's the unemployment rate that is going down over the last 20 years. In the early 90s, (under Clinton) they did change the way they calculated the rate which cause about two-tenths of a point downward bias to the published figures. The BLS said, and I do believe them, that there were good technical reasons for adjusting their calculation methods and politics was not a factor. But the fact remains none-the-less, that even at the bottom of this last recession, unemployment rates have remained below the average rate over the last 20 years.

I also understand that all of this is way to complex for Murry Mom to try to comprehend. I can see her head exploding looking at this tables. Like Barbie said, "Oh my God, math is sooooooooo hard."

And they call Bush dumb.
