Here's a chart, taken almost directly from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. It shows the month-to-month change in total employment,
and how it fell from an average gain of 236,000 during the Clinton
presidency to an average loss of 66,000 per month under George Bush.
(The chart shows payroll jobs, averaged over three months.) The arrow,
which I added, shows when Bush took office.

Economic numbers don't get more clear than this

Looks to me as though it was taking a dive well before Clinton left
office. Who's fault was that? Bush, whom I'm not too wild about,
inherited a situation already going downhill.
