Still Seven Million Jobs Short

New jobs numbers out, and so far it seems that America has gained back the millions of jobs Bush lost for us. But don't forget -- the number of working-age Americans has grown by over seven million during this time. So, as David Cay Johnston notes, we're still down seven million jobs from where we should be. Notice that while BushCo likes having his tame press corps trumpet jobs numbers, he doesn't like to have them talk about the actual unemployment rate? Which, of course, has gone up and stayed up, as there are more working-age Americans than there are jobs?
