Jobs, Jobs, Jobs
Brian October 8th, 2004
There are a lot of issues that are important to me this year, but few more important than jobs. Perhaps this is because I do not yet have a job and will be graduating in less than three months and am being selfish. However, we all know that an economy cannot prosper without adequate employment opportunities. Therefore, I think jobs could be a deciding issue for a lot of undecided voters.
The new job report released today, although unfortunate for America, might just give Kerry the boost he was needing.
Here is what John Kerry had to say about the report:
The verdict is in: With 1.6 million private sector jobs lost during his term, President Bush will be the first President in 72 years to face the electorate with an economy that has lost jobs under his watch. Indeed, job creation is now 7 million jobs behind where the Administration projected in February 2002 our economy would now be if we followed the President’s economic plan. And even the modest numbers of jobs created are paying $9,000 less than the jobs being lost, and are too often without health care and pension coverage that working families need.
