This is a dramatic graphic put out by the Obama administration today. I love graphic representations of complicated data, but also am weary of oversimplification to prove a point. Anybody have a good analysis on this graph?  You can view it in it's full size HERE

nice graph. but... (0.00 / 0)

it shows trends nicely, but doesn't provide much insight into how far and for how long we need to be on the plus side of the line before people can feel the difference. and job losses are still job losses.

the graph could be be drawn differently... and show cumulative job losses, which would look like a line going up sharply under Bush and Obama, then continuing to rise but much less dramatically.
