Modest Job Creation in December

It's Official: Bush Creates Positivie Net Jobs in First Term

157,000 new jobs, a bit short of the 178,000 consensus estimate, but enough to reassure Wall Street that the expansion continues without setting off inflationary pressures.

More interesting, at least from a political-brickbat point of view, is the fact that George Bush just created net jobs in his first term. No longer is he the "only president to have lost jobs since Herbert Hoover." This BLS release, sent to me by Secret Super-Source "Deep Stoat," notes that Bush has created a net of 114,000 jobs since January 2001 (when you include the BLS revision to 2003's figures).

I don't think these figures are good enough to warrant cowbell. But they do seem like good political news; at least we can now say, "Awww, stuff it" when the Herbert Hoover quote is tossed out.

So, based on a commenter's suggestion, this gets not a cowbell, but a Vinny Falcone.

George Bush got a conductor like Vinny Falcone to ride this economy's ass.

Do you like your jobs? Do you want to keep your jobs?

Well do you?

Now they'll just say "the fewest jobs since Herbert Hoover."

Oh well, they suck like Hoovers anyway.

Look at that expression on his face.....oh yes....there will be no loose shit on his watch

Posted by: johnnyH on January 7, 2005 11:20 AM

I can see the headlines now....

"Fewest new jobs since President Bush announced the end of 'major hostilities' in Iraq after his famous aircraft carrier landing."

Posted by: Dan-O on January 7, 2005 11:25 AM

It would not surprise me if these are jobs that were created as a result of the ongoing conflict in Iraq.

Vinnie Falcone makes a much better image than Cowbell guy, his type of music is just plain better like it or not. And if you want to keep your fucking jobs you'll say so!

Posted by: 72VIRGINS on January 7, 2005 01:27 PM

I heard on NPR of all places this morning, that it was most jobs created since 1999, for the year. Or something like that..
ah hell do commenters have to have sources/fact check? I’m not a blogger after all .... but I am no nick coleman either... So....

The Labor Department reported Friday that the 2.2 million new jobs created in 2004 were the most in any year since 1999,
quick search and voila

What is the CONFUSION on these job reports? I don't get it. What's it gonna be guys? Our economy is not gonna be as srong as our weakest link.

Posted by: Nordicgirl on January 7, 2005 01:55 PM

the job numbers are useless info.
the economy is out of control, literally. so is our society in a way.
compliance with federal and local regulations and laws is at a crisis point, regardless of what you may hear. (immigration,taxes,dollar,war,elections)
this pits everyone agin everyone.
this is always good for bidness for our benevolent fed goverment.
