Seems like a good time to review jobs created by each administration:

Job Loss or Gain by President and Party

(D) Roosevelt 5.3
(D) Johnson 3.8
(D) Carter 3.1
(D) Truman 2.5
(D) Clinton 2.4
(D) Kennedy 2.3
(R) Nixon 2.2
(R) Reagan 2.1
(R) Coolidge 1.1
(R) Ford 1.1
(R) Eisenhower 0.9
(R) G. Bush 0.6
(R) G.W. Bush -0.7
(R) Hoover -9.0

note: numbers are in percent

Hmmmmm. Not at all difficult to understand why net gain/loss percentages are no longer published by our free spending, tax cutting government along with their highly publicized 'new jobs creation'. Creating health care jobs to change bed pans for an aging population and restaurant servers to assist with increasing obesity seems to be far more newsworthy than manufacturing/professional/financial/construction job losses.
