    Clinton inherited an unemployment rate of 6.9%. In 2000 that was   
    down to 4.0%. You are touting a Sept rate of 4.6% as "down much   
    more."   
      
    You do have to consider that the workforce increased about 9   
    million over that period, 2000 to 2006.   
      
    Then figure the work force participation rate for that period,   
    from 67% in 2K to 66% in Sept 2006. One percent loss right   
    there.   
      
    The percentage of the population employed went from 64.4% in   
    2000 to 63.1% in sept 06   
      
    The number not in the labor force went from 70 mill in 2K to   
    77.6 Million in sept 06.
