3 States Have Less Jobs Than When Bush Took Office

The AP reports:

The U.S. added about 2 million nonfarm jobs in 2005, and has added nearly a million since, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But job growth has been uneven across the country.
For example, Ohio, Michigan and Illinois had fewer jobs in July than they did when Bush took office in January 2001. The nation has added 2.8 million jobs in that time, despite suffering job losses in 2001 and 2002.

We must say Ohio,Michigan,and Illinois appear to be in a league of their own when it comes to job contraction.
