41. The FACT remains that the # employed has NOT kept up with population growth.

Indeed, during the entire Cheney/Bush regime, no monthly employment increase has YET been at or above the AVERAGE year-over-year rate of monthly employment increase for the prior FIFTY years. This is not only due to people in the workforce uanable to becmoe employed, it's also due to people "leaving the wrokforce" (discouraged workers, moving in with other family, caretakers, health issues, spouse at home, etc.). Even more, the employment compensation has NOT kept up with inflation, ESPECIALLY for the "lower 90%" (e.g. excluding CEOs and executives.)

Compare the rates during Cheney/Bush (and Bush/Quayle) to the Clinton/Gore years in this chart ...

Cheney/Bush have (literally) DECIMATED the working class people in this country.

This chart shows it in NUMBERS of working people ...
