[...] Bush also said 46 states saw falling unemployment rates over the last year, and many of the new jobs are being created in industries that pay above-average wages, such as construction, education and manufacturing. [...]

Yes, many of the jobs created have been in industries that pay above-average wages.  So damn what?  What is more pertinent is that, during the current econmic recovery, corporate profits are up by 62%, yet private wage and salary income is down  by 0.6%.  For anyone to say that "many of the new jobs are being created in industries that pay above-average wages", without further explanation, is plainly misleading.
