"Job growth under Bush was worst since WWII
Jacksonville Business Journal
President George W. Bush will leave office Tuesday with the worst
employment-growth record of any president since World War II,
according to a new analysis by Bizjournals.
The nation’s job base grew at an annual rate of 0.28 percent during
Bush’s eight years as president – by far the slowest pace for any of
the 11 presidents in the postwar era, according to Bizjournals.
Bizjournals is the online media arm of American City Business
Journals, The Business Review's parent company.
The previous low had been set by Bush’s father, George H.W. Bush, with
an annual job-growth rate of 0.59 percent. The elder Bush served
between 1989 and 1993.
Bizjournals used seasonally adjusted data from the U.S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics to calculate employment-growth rates for the
administrations of all presidents since Harry Truman. Each president’s
record was based on a comparison of job totals in the final full month
served by his predecessor and his own final month. George W. Bush’s
span ran from December 2000, when nonfarm employment totaled 132.5
million, to December 2008, when it reached 135.5 million.
The administration with the strongest growth rate since World War II
was that of Lyndon Johnson, who served between November 1963 and
January 1969. Employment increased at an annual pace of 3.74 percent
during that period.
Bizjournals also looked at five subsets of job growth, with the
younger President Bush finishing last in four of those categories –
private-sector, manufacturing, retail-trade and government employment.
The exception was construction employment, where Bush ranked ninth
with an annual growth rate of 0.08 percent. The nation suffered losses
of construction jobs under two presidents: Gerald Ford (down 3.75
percent per year between 1974 and 1977) and George H.W. Bush (down
3.22 percent per year).
Johnson was the top-rated president in three of the subsets –
private-sector, manufacturing and government employment. Harry Truman,
who was president from 1945 to 1953, led the other two – construction
and retail-trade employment.
Annual employment-growth rates for all 11 postwar presidents are
listed below:
Total employment
1. Lyndon Johnson (1963-69), 3.74%
2. Jimmy Carter (1977-81), 3.11%
3. Bill Clinton (1993-2001), 2.42%
4. Harry Truman (1945-53), 2.38%
5. Richard Nixon (1969-74), 2.30%
6. John Kennedy (1961-63), 2.28%
7. Ronald Reagan (1981-89), 2.04%
8. Gerald Ford (1974-77), 0.95%
9. Dwight Eisenhower (1953-61), 0.87%
10. George H.W. Bush (1989-93), 0.59%
11. George W. Bush (2001-09), 0.28%

Note how 5 out of the top 6 presidents were Democrats. That alone
should tell you under what kind of administration job growth really
responds to.

This is not a surprising because the GOP has always been more concerned
about worker productivity than employment. If workers are more
productive, you have to hire fewer of them.
do you ever recall George W. Bush worrying much about employment? if
any employer has to hire more workers, it affects profits negatively.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
According to the UN, American workers stay longer in the office, at the
factory or on the farm than their counterparts in Europe and most other
rich nations, and they produce more per person over the year.
They also get more done per hour than everyone but the Norwegians,
according to a U.N. report released Monday, which said the United States
"leads the world in labor productivity."
Each U.S. worker produces $63,885 of wealth per year, more than their
counterparts in all other countries, the International Labor
Organization said in its report. Ireland comes in second at $55,986,
ahead of Luxembourg, $55,641; Belgium, $55,235; and France, $54,609.
The productivity figure is found by dividing the country's gross
domestic product by the number of people employed. The U.N. report is
based on 2006 figures for many countries, or the most recent available.
Only part of the U.S. productivity growth, which has outpaced that of
many other developed economies, can be explained by the longer hours
Americans are putting in, the ILO said.

And what this gutless right winger won't say is that those few jobs
(see first post) were paid for with huge government debts. What the
coward conservative won't tell you is Bush-Cheney ran up the biggest
deficit in history.
He's interested in jobs, but with debt, debt that has to be repaid.
But conservatives are to stupid to get the debt part. They just want
low taxes, paid for by their grandchildren.
Yeah, repug morality.......

Most of the job growth in the Bush years was in the government. He
nationalized airport security and also created tens of thousands in jobs
in Homeland Security.

Here is a graph on The Gavel that shows what really happened to American
