Bush's Job Growth WORST in 50 Years (Roll out the red carpet for this “staunch Bush supporter.”)

Bushs giant Right Wing Noise Machine (RWNM) loves to preach about the Bush economic miracle. In fact, the RWNMs current thinking is Bush doesnt spend enough time talking about his economic triumphs. If only he did, then everyone would fall in line and believe in the great Bush economic miracle. There is one problem with this argument: its a lie. Any way you look at the Bush economy, it comes up short. Today, I want to compare Bushs job creation record with other economic recoveries. As usual, Bush comes up way short.
The national Bureau of Economic Research has identified 8 recessions since May 1954. For comparison purposed, I only used 5 of these periods because they are longer than the current expansion. Next, I used the total nonfarm employment numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). I measured the jobs created from the trough (lowest point) to the next identified highest economic point. (The NBER states a peak marks the end of an expansion and the beginning of a recession.) I compared the total number jobs created for the entire expansion as well as the total number of jobs created 49 months into the expansion (According to the NBER, the lowest point of the last trough was in November 2001, making December 2005 the 49th month of this expansion). Heres how the numbers (in millions) compare.
The expansion of 2/61 12/69 created 17,684 total jobs and 6,244 at 49 months.
The expansion of 3/75 7/80 created 13,183 total jobs and 12,831 at 49 months.
The expansion of 11/82 7/90 created 21,003 total jobs and 11,510 at 49 months.
The expansion of 3/91 3/01 created 23,969 total jobs and 8,266 at 49 months.
The current expansion which started in November 2001 has created a total of 3,410 jobs.
In other words, at 49 months into an expansion, Bushs job creation record is last. While we dont know when this expansion will end, the Bush economy would have to triple the total number of jobs created in order to get to 4th place on this list.
Whats going on here? The basic problem is some areas of the economy are creating jobs. The BLS tracks 13 different job sectors. 7 (a little over half) have created jobs since November 2001 natural resources/mining (37,000), construction (539,000), financial (550,000), professional services (238,000), education/health (2.1 million), leisure/hospitality (803,000) and governmental employees (1 million). Of all the jobs created three areas government, education/health account for 57% of job growth. Of the jobs created outside of education, health and governmental employees (2,167,000), construction, professional services and financial services account for about 60% of the jobs created. Real estate is obviously related to all of these areas. Construction is obviously related to real estate, as are financial services (mortgage lending etc
) and professional services (real estate agents, appraisers etc
) So, real estate, governmental employees and health/education jobs are doing just fine.
6 areas a little under half of the sectors the BLS tracks have had a net loss in number of jobs: manufacturing (-2,800,000), information (-565,000), trade/transport/utilities (-353), whole sales trade (-107), retail (-157), and transportation/warehousing (67,000). Manufacturing and information are obviously the two biggest areas of job losses. Some of the information service jobs are the result of natural attrition from Y2K. However, I somehow doubt that is the only reason for the losses. While there is no information regarding outsourcing losses (because the government does not keep any statistics on the subject), I fell safe in assuming outsourcing is a big factor involved in the losses.
In summation, sum people are doing well. They can find jobs and are probably financially somewhat secure. However, others have seen their jobs literally disappear overnight and are hurting to find new jobs that pay commensurate levels. These people are hurting from the current expansion. Of course, Bush and the RWNM has forgotten about them.

As a staunch Bush supporter Can't you seminar disrupters think of a different line???
BTW, 5% unemployment is what economists call "full employment" during Democrat administrations.

I don't understand the jargon here. Does anybody have a direct response to this? Here's a direct response. The author did a lot of logical gymnastics to try to manipulate the numbers in a way that would make GWB's economic record look bad and clinton's look good. The funny thing is that in doing so, the author inadvertently pointed out that the big job creation machine that clinton took credit for began 21 months before he was elected and 23 months before he took office. So really you would have to call that the first Bush recovery and the current recovery is the second Bush recover from a clinton recession.

You might want to factor in entrpreneurs, and 10 MILLION illegals. Bye the way...if you are a staunch conservative, this is a duck.

In summation, sum people are stupid. Dumber than a sack full of hammers. Intruder Alert thinks 911, which shut down entire industries for a week was just a bump in the road. A minor inconvenience. A little law enforcement problem. Another 2 - 300 cops on the beat ought to take care of it.

Why not address the issue? I'm going to re-read the post and do some research. We should answer these 'DUers' with facts not by screaming 'ZOT'.
If they come up with anything resembling an actual issue, then I agree. When someone declares that the sky is lime green, they either do not wish to know the truth, or they are mentally incapable of knowing the truth.
When even the MSM cannot ignore the current economy, this tripe cannot pass the smell test. In late 2003 this would have warranted a reply. Not in 1Q2006.

Using seasonally adjusted non-farming numbers.
If you compare the first 49 months of the 3/91 to 4/95 period you get a net gain of 6.904 million jobs. It goes down to 6.846 million for a 48 month period.
If you compare the first 48 months (Dec data not in the chart yet) of the 11/01 to 11/05 period you get a net gain of 6.447 million jobs.

Statistics can be fudged.
Bottom line.....
More people are working ever!
More people own their own homes ever!
More tax revenue in coming to the government ever!
Millions of illegal aliens are risking their very lives to come here to work in those jobs that are not being created!!

Factually incorrect. Currently more Americans are employed then ever before in US history and are making higher wages then Americans ever have before.
(And yes, there is a glaring logical error in the above statement BUT it is AS FACTUALLY ACCURATE as YOUR claims are). Selectively using statistics to claim broad gernalitizes about the US Economy that are factually FALSE is what is known as lying. And YOU sir, are a LIAR.

You people just don't appreciate what the stupidity and shallowness of liberals does for us.
Due to the extreme predictability of liberals, we can spot them within the first sentence, often in the first few words of the first sentence.
I figure on each liberal who posts, I can save approximately one minute of reading and decryption, another 15 seconds of clicking and loading an article, another 2-5 minutes of reading and additional decryption. That comes out to six or seven minutes each day.
Given that I am inveterate FR reader, I may run across three of these a day. That is 20 minutes each day I can save. If I live another 35 years (which is possible), that would give me another 180 days of additional usable time! I could go around the world, and still have 100 days of time left!
Heck...we should be ENCOURAGING the liberals to write things!

"If they come up with anything resembling an actual issue, then I agree. When someone declares that the sky is lime green, they either do not wish to know the truth, or they are mentally incapable of knowing the truth."
You got that right.... Why bother trying to intelligently debate the Moores and Sheehan followers? They are completely off their rockers.

You know, your post has to be one of the most excessively STUPID posting every posted here. In a board with such a long rich history, that is a MAJOR accomplishment. Your post is ultra, completely mega stupid. We will have to come up with a whole new classification of stupid to adequately address your level of idiocy. World Record Stupid! Rock hard dehydrated stupid! Lifetime Achievement Stupid! So stupid it MUST be a lost fragment of the primordial soup from with all imbeciles since have sprung. It sets a whole new standard by which stupidity will be judged from now on! Quick, call the Nobel Comittee. We have to estabish a whole new Nobel Prize for World Record Stupidty just so this poster can be award it!!!
I applaud your courage. Most people attempt to hide their moronic natures but not YOU. NO, you FLAUNT your morondom. You proudly cruise the Internet squealing "I AM THE WORLDS LARGEST IDIOT". I must say I have NEVER seen anyone so willing to make peace with a painful personal truth as you have embraced your imbecility. Well done brave soul!
