This is kinda interesting. You routinely hear that the job market needs to create 150,000-180,000 new positions each month in order to keep up with new entrants into the workforce. But according to these Bureau of Labor Satistics unearthed by Jon Henke, the average number of monthly entrants during the Bush years has been 110,000 each month. Are his numbers wrong and, if not, what accounts for the drop?
