From Reuters:
U.S. Job Gains Strongest in Seven Months
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – New U.S. jobs soared at the sharpest rate in seven months in October, the government reported on Friday, helped by a surge in construction activity as hurricane-battered areas in the Southeast were rebuilt.
A surprisingly strong 337,000 jobs were added to payrolls last month—twice the 169,000-job growth that Wall Street economists had forecast and the strongest since March when 353,000 jobs were created, the Labor Department said.
Still, the unemployment rate edged up to 5.5 percent from 5.4 percent in September, but that was because more people joined the search for employment, a potentially hopeful sign.
Not only was October a strong month but the number of jobs created in the two prior months was revised up—to 139,000 in September instead of 96,000 and to 198,000 in August instead of 128,000.
Bush’s tax cuts revitalized the economy; he’s prevented another terrorist attack from being executed on our soil during the years since 9-11; he’s installed a Democracy in Iraq; and removed from power the leaderships of two nations that supported terrorists (a Bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee concluded that Hussein had a long history of supporting terrorism). No wonder the Dems have had to act so crazy during the campaign. You’d have to be crazy not to recognize the substantial, even historic achievements of GWB.
