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

(The chart shows payroll jobs, averaged over three months.) The arrow,

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.

Bush should be judged on the record after that -- on the creation of jobs in
