One other thing I saw recently to illustrate just how bad the 80,000 number is in reality, it takes about 125,000 new jobs just to keep pace with the growing population. It should be better described as we saw a 45,000 jobs deficit for June alone. Maybe some enterprising soul should go all the way back to February 2009 and run the numbers that way and see what the actual deficit is to date.
Hey Romney Campaign, are you reading?
The nation’s workforce expanded by 189,000 in June, 85,000 were added to social security’s disability rolls while only 80,000 unemployed found jobs, and Obama calls it a “step in the right direction”. Anyone who thinks he deserves another four years must be getting all their news from MSNBC.
