[NewsWhore]

On 1 January 2006, President Leonel Fernandez issued Decree 1-06 declaring 2006 as the "Year of Job Creation", and at the time, the government set the goal of recovering 500,000 lost jobs. Since then, the government says that some 114,000 jobs have been generated which according to Listin Diario leaves the government 385,000 jobs short of its goal. This data complements figures issued by the Central Bank earlier this week (see yesterday's DR1 News).
