The JOB CREATION DEFICIT

[radfringe]

Two figures have been cited for job creation in 2004

1. 2.6 million jobs in 2004 works out to approximately 210,000 jobs per month. January '04 report indicated 112,000 jobs had been created - this leaves a JOB CREATION DEFICIT of 98,000 jobs.

2. In other news releases - Bush upped the job creation numbers to 3.2 million for 2004. This figure means approximately 266,000 jobs per month. Given January's job creation numbers -- the JOB CREATION DEFICIT stands at 154,000 jobs.

We may want to note -- no one has said whether or not all or some of these jobs would be created in the US.......

I suggest that when talking about the JOB-LOSS recovery, that we also mention the JOB CREATION DEFICITS
