| Jobs, a General Statement |
This Administration is the first to have a net job loss since President Hoover during the Great Depression. We continue to export jobs and the Republicans have no strategy to prevent it. Outside the farm sector, real wages are falling after accounting for inflation. While corporations may be earning more, working Americans are earning less.
For the third year in a row, the trade deficit in 2004 was at an all-time high: -- $666 billion. About 5 3/4 percent of our GDP. Our allies call this --unsustainable. For four years, the Administration's position has been that this crisis will be corrected by the continued fall of the dollar, but despite the dollar's fall against other major currencies, especially the euro, that has not happened.
