...no, I am comparing unemployment claims with lost jobs and I am deducting the reported job losses represented by those claims from the jobs created claims. Comparing jobs to jobs. There is a net loss and when you have a net loss of jobs, there is no reduction in unemployment unless you just have more folks to give up ever finding work and stop looking.
...BTW: did ya know that there are less people working now than there was during the bush admn?

Liberals are like a "Slinky". Totally useless, but somehow ya can't help but smile when you see one tumble down a flight of stairs!
