Tell it to the 4000 Motorola employees and the 10,000 Dell employees that will soon be entering the unemployment line.

By comparison, the average unemployment rates were fairly similar; 5.2 percent under Clinton's eight years and 5.5 percent under Bush. There is also a great deal of overlap (3.9 to 7.1 percent under Clinton to 4.2 to 6.4 percent under Bush II).

But, Clinton never had to deal with 9/11. That was a serious blow to the economy. All in all, I'd say BaBushka has the upper hand.

The Government has been lying about and manipulating it's own data for decades. Read what economist John Williams of Shadow Statistics says is really going on.

The growers must have all the help they need now, those onions won't rot in the fields now.
I was thinking of coming out of retirement to help get those onions in at $20.00 an hour as stated by one grower that he said ( Americans wouldn't do the job for $20.00 an hour )

Probably hiring at walmart as their help went to the onion patch.

"average hourly earning rose to $17.30"

Note the use of "average." That means they're lumping Wal-Mart clerks in with journeyman electricians.

They didn't make that number up. It's no less deceptive for being accurate.
