The Labor Department today revealed W’s last lame-duck 2008 “gift” to the US economy…another 524,000 jobs lost in December.

Also, new revisions for both October and November turn out to be even deeper than previously estimated. Revised figures show that US employers slashed 584,000 positions in November as well as 423,000 in October.

For all of 2008, the US economy lost a net total of 2.6 million jobs. That’s the most in one year since 1945, folks!
