Another chart:
Civilian Employment (Seasonally Adjusted)
Look at the left side of the table to Jan/Feb and down to rows marked 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004. In February 2001 the figure is 137,581,000. In February 2004 the figure is 138,301,000. The current numbers would indicate that there are now 720,000 more jobs than there were in February of President Bush's first year.
Only numbers derogatory to President Bush are being reported by the media. Why are the numbers we're finding not being used as rebuttal to the dems and negative media???

You are exactly correct. The seasonally adjusted chart is another illustration demonstrating that the total number of jobs is UP, not down. Combined with the extremely low unemployment rate it is says that the low unemployment rate is not just a statistical anomaly.
