Jobs, economy weigh on voters' minds  view story

JAKE THOMPSON - - Omaha World-Herald

At age 60, Wayne Anderson is facing a stingy Midwestern market with a fighter's spirit as he hunts for a middle-management job, one ear cocked to the jobs promises in this year's presidential contest.
The Lincoln consultant has had interviews but no offers, and he's not sure he likes what either candidate - President Bush or Sen. John Kerry - offers.
"I was all set to vote for Bush," Anderson said last week after visiting the State Workforce Development office in Lincoln. "As I've listened to him and examined the job situation in my search, I'm not sure that's the way to go.
"But I'm not sure the Democrats have a plan either."
Observations such as these may linger with voters because while Bush and Kerry have repeatedly traded jabs about jobs, their proposals for creating new employment haven't received much attention.
