4. I read somewhere...

That the White House will revise upwards the year's numbers sofar 250,000 to 350,000.

How convinient just before the last presidential debate to have the yearly numbers revised.

I also read they expect 150K jobs created.

With speculation growing that AT&T is preparing to lay off thousands more employees, shares of the phone company rose by more than 4 percent yesterday, as analysts said Ma Bell could improve its results with another round of cost cutting.

Since July, when the nation's third-largest telephone company said it would no longer invest in its troubled consumer phone business, analysts have predicted the ax could fall on as many as 7,000 employees.

In a research note yesterday, Legg Mason analysts Daniel Zito and Brad Wilson said the Bedminster-based company could wring $1.8 billion in costs from its consumer business unit next year. They said they expected the company to chop 6,000 jobs, with 5,000 of those coming from the consumer business.

6. These aren't "new" jobs, are they?

At this point aren't any jobs created just replacement jobs for people who lost jobs under the chimp? :shrug: He has yet to create 1 NEW job. Is that right?

First Prez since Hoover to never create 1 new job? :hi:
