Yep -- this is a dog bites man story.
When people loses jobs, it's always tough.
But, as far as this article goes, the reasons are a glut of jobs in a short lived bubble in the Internet/tech, where a large percentage of people with visions of being millionaires straight out of college decided to major in the "computer sciences" -- it easy to forget the cause for today's lost jobs (unsustainable growth) started long before Bush took office.
NAFTA and the sending of jobs over seas is part of the picture too.
Bush needs to address this, but he is NOT the cause and NO amount of avoiding these facts from he NYT will make it all any different!

Yes, the Bubble and treaties like Gatt and NAFTA have obliterated many jobs. But Bush not only encourages illegal immigration but keeps trying to slip in back door amnesties for them to come here and take the jobs that are left...those infamous jobs "Americans won't do." (Like Restaurants, construction, landscaping, trucking, etc.) Less than 2% actually pick your lettuce.
