Bush Hailing Jobless Figures - KTRE.com | Lufkin and Nacogdoches, Texas
Member Center:
President Bush is hailing the latest jobless figures as a sign things are starting to "brighten up" for the U.S. economy.
He told an audience in North Carolina yesterday the drop in the unemployment rate to six-point-zero percent is "the beginning of good news for job-seekers." It's an assertion he's repeating in today's weekly radio address. Coming on top of a third-quarter surge in the nation's growth rate, the news on jobs has the White House hoping Bush has turned the corner on the economy as a political issue.However, Democrats say the economy Bush is responsible for still has a long way to go.
They note it'll have to create 300 thousand jobs a month if Bush is to avoid the worst job creation record since Herbert Hoover.
