I couldn't find any stats, but I think it's a safe bet that Dubya wasn't the first president to take office with a certain sector(s) suffering job losses.
If anyone has any stats on that, pleas post them.

I'd have to look it up but I'm pretty sure Pres. Reagan took over with some pretty crummy job and economic numbers. It took 4 years to turn that around and then he enjoyed it for 4.
