Take a look at this research on Jobs creation I just did after today's great number:
Advertisements [?]
Here is some real interesting jobs data I dug up at the Dept. of Labor website:

It wasn’t until three one half years after Bush took office where the first monthly job growth exceeded 290,000, today’s number (Mar 2004 – 338,000 jobs)

During the entire Bush presidency, and in spite of two massive “pro-growth” tax cuts for the rich, there were only 6 months total where the numbers exceeded what we saw today.

The average job growth from the time Bush took office in Jan 2001 until the 338,000 job creation in March 2004 was negative.

Today’s number was the best number (after Obama was only in office for 1 yr and 2 mo) since the jobs number of Feb 2006.

Outside of the years of 2004, 2005, 2006 (in other words, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2007, 2008) there was not a single month of job growth better than todays.


Remember this data: it is your armament. The Republicans are already saying "but unemployment went up by .1%. Of course this only indicates that more people are actually starting to look for work.
