Jobs report comes out only down 11k jobs from last October

The non-farm payroll jobs report was released today showing that there were only 11k jobs lost from October to November. This is another indication the economy is turning.

On another note I noticed something interesting while analyzing the NFP charts. If you look at the data George Bush took office in 2001 with 132,469,000 jobs. When he left office there were 134,333,000 jobs. Which means he increased the amount of jobs in the country by 1.3% in the 8 years he was in office. To put things in perspective his predecessor, Clinton, increased jobs 17.1% the 8 years he was in office.

Some other notes:
Bush I increased jobs by 2.3%
Reagan increased jobs by 15%
Carter increased jobs by 11.3%
Ford increased jobs by 3.2%
Nixon increased jobs by 11%
Johnson increased jobs 19.1%
