The latest numbers out of the Government office for tracking employment (read it several days ago in the Wasington Times) were that the adjusted numbers after corrections and new reports, were a net gain since 9/11 You cannot blame the million jobs lost in the travel industry due to 9/11 on the Administration as no administration could have averted that.
I would post a link but I don't have one nor the time to search for it just now...so believe me or not. *shrug* Just thought I would relate what the "official" numbers say (according to the Post)...from the same source as the numbers used by Clinton during both his terms.
A second source (I believe it was factcheck but don't recall)said that if you adjust the numbers INCLUDING the 9/11 fall out then we are down roughly 860,000 ...about half of what JK is claiming. If you discount the 9/11 figures then we are in the plus column. So I suppose you CAN blame the loss of jobs due to 9/11 on Bush...but that would be like blaming a volcano erruption on the mayor.
