BUT THEY CAN BE FIRED IF THEIR WORK IS FRENCH:
Best job market in 5 years for grads: report (Reuters, 3/20/06)
U.S. college graduates are facing the best job market since 2001, with business, computer, engineering, education and health care grads in highest demand, a report by an employment consulting firm showed on Monday.Posted by Orrin Judd at March 20, 2006 4:17 PM"We are approaching full employment and some employers are already dreaming up perks to attract the best talent," said John Challenger, chief executive of Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
In its annual outlook of entry-level jobs, Challenger, Gray & Christmas said strong job growth and falling unemployment makes this spring the hottest job market for America's 1.4 million college graduates since the dot-com collapse in 2001.
The "education" part of that clip is what scares me.
Nearly everyone who goes through Ed School is dedicated to turning the nation into France, if not something worse. (is there something worse?)
Further, the economics of all those Ed majors is NOT a function of the market, but of ficticious demand brought on by "Class Size" myths and Special Ed legislation.

I agree Bush was dragged down in 04 due to the war.
However, the gutless republican congressmen who sabotaged his agenda on SS Reform, NSA activities, Dubai, etc will be soley responsible for the underperformance that will be 06. They are not acting like a governing party and will soon not be a governing party.
