In order to compensate for new entrants into the job market, a minimum of 150,000 jobs have to be created every month to meet the demand, according to virtually everyone who is involved in studying the job figures.

This is the same as their trumpeting "record growth" over the past few months. It is ONLY a record because the economy under Bush has fallen so far and so fast that every small "dead cat bounce" looks like a miraculous recuperation. It's just a fucking dead body bouncing at the bottom of a ten-story fall!

Talk about putting lipstick on pig!
