dad of 4, work force is a number that refers to people (who meet current specifications) currently seeking employment, not a number representing anything regarding actual jobs. if 35 thousand people found employment out of a work force of 150 thousand, that is a very poor employment percentage. The unemployment rate does not count anyone "outside" of the workforce (those of able age who have seeked employment within the last 3 months). im no math expert, but 35 out of 150= pretty crappy= time for a change ; ). BTW all you people who talk about kerry not making decisions, im sure referring to some of his difference in opinions, mostly perpetuated by Bush, just do a search on Kerry and look at how many decisive policies he has already spelled out. About the war thing, at least the guy knows he mad a mistake and is willing to admit it. Also, the Bush campaign is very specific in saying "the world is a safer place" now that they have captured Sadam. Maybe true, because now Iran and Kuwaiit don't have to worry about Sadam, but we are at war with two countries losing more soldiers every day. So, the world may be safer, but is America?
