Are the new employment figures really that bad?

The unemployment rate has reached its lowest level of the last five years, and yet some
economists still wring their hands in despair over the anemic job situation. I'm having some
trouble following their reasoning on this one.

Hal, I have decided that its not Bush but you that is at fault about the number of people employed in America. When will you accept responsibility and begin hiring?

Seriously, grow up and quit blaming Bush for something he has little control over ... we live in a market economy

Nice misdirection. Doubt it will actually â you know â get someone a real job.

Don't blame the economy, Hal. It's you.

We are, after all, in the lowest point of private sector employment in history. Bush has actually lost jobs during his term.

This, umm, ceased being true quite a few months ago. Feel free to carry on being wrong, though.

Well, except when the reason for the low unemployment rate is that people have stopped looking. I mean, really James. This is rather silly logic on your part, don't you think? We are, after all, in the lowest point of private sector employment in history. Bush has actually lost jobs during his term.

And here you are saying that it's a great thing that our measurement is telling us all is roses.

Nice misdirection. Doubt it will actually - you know - get someone a real job.
