I got a big pay boost under Bush and bought a nice condo apartment. That rat Bastard.

Come to think of it I got a job with a big boost in salary under Bush. Of course that was because he sent me to Iraq.

P.S. I also bought a house.

I lost my job under Bush. They actually wanted be to be able to "hear" for me to go to Iraq in the Army. Oh well, as long as got my GI Bill.

quote: Originally posted by Oerdin I would be very interested in learning what the average yearly income for those jobs is. I'm guessing round $7.50 per hour. That's just a hunch though.

As for what the new jobs are, no figures but the overall wage rate is increasing as well as weekly take home pay and on top of that hours worked are going down. So one is inclined to think they are decent wage jobs or on the flip side everyone else already employed is getting whopping pay increases despite the frequently adhered to Dem canard re: McJobs.

I posted this in the last report which was rolled up in another thread. Sorry GePap that it didn't get its own thread.

Is that number average, or median wages? That makes a significant difference.

I moved to Atlanta and got a job in comparable pay range. My wife OTOH got a 100% pay increase plus bonus. We got a house roughly twice the size of our house in Deleware. Great job on the economy Bush!

Small cap companies have increased over the past 4 years, and my small cap stocks and funds have done great. The problem ain't so much people haven't been working, it's that they haven't been working were the government (and democrats) has been looking.

People who go into business for themselves drop out of unemployment, and generally are "employed" either as proprietors under fictitious business names, or as employees of corporations or LLCs they control.

Household: 16,000 home survey <-- out of work people don't always report being out of work due to embarressment
Establishment: 400,000 employers <-- larger sample size means more accurate

Jobs lost from Bush inauguration to 12/2001 - Bush's fault or inherited recession plus 9/11/2001?
If you are honest, your answer to the above question frames your views on the job increases since 1/2002.
