WASHINGTON (AP) -- Employers added no jobs in August -- an alarming setback for the economy that renewed fears of another recession and raised pressure on Washington to end the hiring standstill.

Worries flared Friday after release of the worst jobs report since September 2010. Total payrolls were unchanged, the first time since 1945 that the government reported a net job change of zero. The unemployment rate stayed at 9.1 percent.

The stock market plunged in response. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 253 points, or more than 2 percent, in mid-afternoon trading.

Analysts say the economy cannot continue to expand unless hiring picks up. In the first six months of 2011, growth was measured at an annual rate of 0.7 percent.

The near 'doubling' of the unemployment #'s didn't start until the Dems took control of the House. after the '06 election.

Who controls the House now?

If, as you say, the Dems being in control of the House after the '06 election was the cause of the near-doubling of unemployment numbers under Bush, then by logical extension, the GOP controlling the House now means that today's unemployment numbers AREN'T "100%" Obama's.

In fact, since you imply that the Dem-controlled House was solely responsible after '06, and since you earlier claimed that the Speaker of the House controls the entire Congress and thus the entire Legislative Branch of the U.S. government, then you would seem to be admitting that the current GOP/Tea Party-controlled House is solely responsible to today's economic climate.
