In the email I received from DNC with that bar graph, it was interactive,
so when you clicked on a month it showed the number of jobs lost or created... just as Glatt says.

I felt the "number of jobs/month " was difficult to interpret,
so I put that data into Excel, calculated and graphed the "Cumulated No. of Jobs/Month".

The graph below starts in Dec 2007.
Red = No. of jobs/month, Blue = Cumulative since 12/2007
The Ordinate values are for the Cumulative curve

I think this Cumulative graph is easier to interpret,
and that the No. of Jobs/month returned to 2007 levels in March 2009, following the stimulus in 2008.
People were dissatisfied with Bush's numbers, and still are.
The Cumulative graph shows where we were and how fast "job growth" is occurring.
