"Bikini Graph" Update: Under Democratic Leadership More Jobs Created In 2010 Than In Bush's 8 Years

[Turborama]

This morning, the Department of Labor released its jobs report for December 2010 finding the unemployment rate dropped to 9.4% – the lowest level in 19 months. They report the private sector grew for the 12th straight month, with 113,000 private sector jobs added in December and more than 1.3 million added in 2010:



In total, 103,000 jobs were created last month and 1.1 million jobs in 2010 – more than President Bush created in eight years:

Leader Pelosi on the report:

Today’s jobs report provides evidence that the policies of the Democratic-led Congress are helping to create jobs and revitalize our economy – adding more jobs in 2010 than President Bush did over eight years. With so many Americans still looking for work, now is not the time to reverse course.

3. This illustrates an ongoing very serious DISASTER partially mitiigated

--by the Obama administration. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD--why in fucking hell can't anybody try to do something about the underlying permanent disaster we are in? Sure, being on the up side of a business cycle is better than being on the down side, but why persistently ignore the underlying problem which is NOT getting fixed--namely permanently suppressed demand from half to 2/3 of the population?
