State Reports Show Job Losses in Last 18 Months

A new report issued by the Minority Staff of the House Appropriations Committee reveals the total number of jobs lost in each state since January 2001, when President Bush took office.

The authors of the report also calculate that the President would have to create 141,000 jobs per month “in order not to have the worst 4-year job record of any President in the last 60 years.”

While approximately one-third of states have actually shown small increases in the number of jobs, all other states have shown drops in the last 2 years. States like Georgia, Missouri, and Massachusetts were hardest hit with 3.53 percent, 3.45 percent, and 3.22 percent of jobs lost since January 2001, respectively.
