Nearly 3 Million Jobs Gained Under Bush

Posted by Michael on June 29th, 2004 filed in Politics

Thanks to a lead from e-Claire, a link to an analysis of the U.S Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.

December 2000: 135,836,000 jobs.

May 2004: 138,772,000 jobs.

Net gain in jobs since Bush became President: 2,886,000 jobs.

I bet you think there have been 3 million jobs lost, don’t you? That’s the last number I heard on the news, too. It was down that low at one time, but it’s since bounced back.

    Final numbers are not in, but it appears jobs were added under Bush, even counting 9/11.
