I never thought of it that way, but it makes sense. Hopefully, some in the media will be a bit more careful with how they report job-related statistics in the future. Interesting point Tom.

I just updated the related cross-post at BizzyBlog.com to reflect what you've done here. (My ability to update at PJM is limited) http://www.bizzyblog.com/2008/08/02/aps-3-million-job-gap/ Also can't help but think that the use of the word "surge" by Jeannine Aversa, who was once again the reporter, was a childish mockery of Bush. You see, his "surge" in Iraq worked, but pink slips are "surging" here. Get it? Nice job, Kurt.
