Romney's job record in Massachusetts

Well, how did Romney actually perform as governor?
-- As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
-- Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
-- Between fall 2003 and last autumn, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly thrice Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
