How many total jobs lost during the Bush Administration?

gengidashiell: How many total jobs lost during the Bush Administration?
I am doing a comparative discussion in a class I teach about job growth and loss. I can find the “jobs added” or “lost” for just about every other administration, but I can’t find the total jobs added/lost for the Bush Administration. I know by the end of his first term there were 1.1 million jobs lost, but what about inclusive of the second term?

Thanks in advance.

Teach about the jobs lost due to Bill Clinton relaxing bank regulations in 1999 which caused the collapse of our markets. 🙂

Many people blame Bush for this, but he didn’t cause people to have to foreclose on their houses. Banks lending to low-income people did.

Did your class tell you the “why” we lost all those jobs. I’m betting not. But hey I could be wrong. Look up NAFTA and see who the pushers of that bill is.

also,the stock market today,even with the crash,is more than double the 3000 it was when Clinton left.Just a little perspective.
Obama has now changed from “create jobs”to “save jobs”…at a job loss rate of 500,000 a month,that’s 24 million lost jobs in 4 years.So he saves 4 million,we lose 20 million,spend a trillion doing it,and he will call it a success.Wake up people

All good things are the result of a Bush policy.
All bad things are the result of someone else’s policy.
