economic expansion?

according to the bureau of labor statistics, when gwb took office 137,778,000 civilians were employed out of a labor force of 143,800,000.

now those figures are 144,579,000 out of 151,698,000.

that's 6.8M more working, 7.9M more in the work force, leaving 1.1M more looking for work.

go ahead, do the math!

(btw, under clinton jobs grew faster than the labor force. nyah, nyah, nyah!)
