No, not the cost of Pelosi’s latest Botox treatment.
We’re talking about jobs, honey.
Over the past year the economy has created the net sum total of three million forty thousand jobs:
140.60 million – Total employment – March 2005.
143.64 million – Total employment – March 2006.
That’s an average gain of 253,333 net jobs per month.

Regarding established-company payroll jobs, the economy over the past 12 months posted a net gain of two million ninety thousand:
132.88 million – Non-Farm Employment – March 2005.
134.97 million – Non-Farm Employment – March 2006.
That’s an average gain of 174,000 net W-2 jobs per month.

For raTHer-obvious reasons, you will not see those numbers reported, much less featured, on this evening’s alphabet cable propaganda shows. Speaking of which, why are you keeping those shows on the air? How about, you know, changing the channel?!

Regarding last month, here’s a link to the summary of the gummint’s report from earlier today:
Nonfarm payroll employment increased by 211,000 in March, and the unemployment rate [decreased from 4.8 to] 4.7 percent….
BTW, the breakdown of last month’s net payroll gains:
187,000 – private sector.
24,000 – public sector.
Yeah, nearly an 8:1 ratio in favor of the private sector.
Go figure.
