Employment figures from BLS (numbers in millions)
Month Tot Employed Gain/Loss
Jan 2001 135.999
Jan 2007 145.957 +9.958
Jan 2009 142.099 -3.858 +6.100 {2001-2009}
Dec 2011 140.790 -1.309 -5.167 {2007-2011)
So we gained nearly 10 million jobs in the first 6 years of Bush 43.
After the Dems won the Congress in 2007 and 0 was coronated in 2009, we have lost over 5 million. The Dems have been in partial or full control for the last 5 years and they have been a disaster. Cynical is entitled to his opinion, but not to pull figures out of his butt.
