Bush would need employers to add an average of 228,000 jobs a month for the remainder of 2004 to avoid becoming the first president since Herbert Hoover to end a term with fewer jobs than when he began.

Tom Joseph, a Toledo, Ohio-based job training official with the United Association of Plumbers and Steamfitters, said he isn't seeing that pace of growth in his community.

Well, if a guy who works for the union doesn't see the growth, it must not be there.
