Here Are Your Jobs, Nancy Baby
The title of this post is what I plan to be saying on Friday when the latest jobs report is released, as long as expectations of most economists, as reported by Reuters, are realized. The Nancy I am referring to is Pelosi. Her remarks following the record economic growth at the end of last year was to ask, “Where are the jobs, Mr. President”.
A variation of the following from the Reuters story would make for a great bumper sticker:
The shift in political rhetoric from the “jobless recovery” lament of the Democrats to “nearly a million jobs in 100 days” of the Bush administration appears to have reached consumers, whose confidence levels hit the highest level in two years in June, according to a Conference Board report this week.
Is Bush’s timing great, or what?
