So far this year, private-sector employment has increased by 593,000 but in June was 7.9 million below its December 2007 level.Who said that, Barack Obama? No, the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Of those 7.9 million jobs lost since December 2007, 4.9 million of them came under George W. Bush, with 3 million of them lost in his last six months in office.
It's going to take time to dig out of the George W. Bush Great Recession and his $1.2 trillion deficit he left us with.
