Here’s some data from the examiner article:

DUELING DATA POINTS

From the Bush camp:

o Real wages rose 1.8 percent over the 12 months through February. This is substantially faster than the average rate of wage growth in the late 1990s.

o Since the first quarter of 2001, productivity growth has averaged 2.8 percent. This is well above average productivity growth during the Clinton years.

From the Clinton camp:

o Under Clinton, the economy created 3.5 times more jobs after 74
months than it did over the same period of time under Bush.

o During the Bush years, the number of Americans below the poverty line has increased by 5.37 million, while under Clinton the number fell by 7.68 million.

Here’s a link to the whole article:
