Secretary of Labor, Elaine Chao:
"Our economy has experienced 11 straight months of job growth, with 1.5 million jobs created since last August. Today's news shows that the unemployment rate has declined in four regions and in 49 states over the last year while nonfarm employment increased in 46 states and the District of Columbia. These results show that the President's economic policies are working, but more needs to be done. Congress needs to act on the President's proposals to further strengthen the economy by reducing wasteful litigation, providing more access to health insurance for small businesses and making permanent tax relief for working families."

Worst economy since the Great Depression. Heh. Indeed.
Mark's Remarks
You know, it is amazing...3 million jobs lost because of Bush, no, make that 2 million, whoops, I meant to say 1.5 million....and they claim the economy isn't creating new jobs.... Seems to me if you keep having to revise your little jobless number on the lower side that there can be no argument about creating jobs, but of course, this is the same party that hails a drunken killer like Ted Kennedy or a racist like Robert Byrd as heroes of Democracy...Go figure.
