Guys - The employment data can be found on the bureau of labor statistics... and the "job loss" data is another form of government base line data gathering. Without counting August's soon to be relesed data, the economy has gained 1,870,000 jobs since January, 2001.

So... Why do we hear about the loss of 1.1 million jobs ?

Simple... 3,000,000 people have entered the workforce since January 1, 2001... So unemployment has gone up by 1.1 million people...

So... even though 1.9 million more people are working... we lost jobs.

Gotta love how the government thinks...
