Talk with

As the
chart above from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics shows,
the loss of jobs in the US was on a disastrous trajectory during
the Bush years. The rate at which jobs have been lost has
improved considerably since January 2009 although far too many
are still out of work. Show this to your friends and neighbors
when they start to bad-mouth the Obama Administration's records
on jobs. Or spread the word:
- Phone/write
your government representative
- Write
a letter to an Editor
