You're right, nothing in the graph says it because it was designed to look that way. Gotta love charts that take a relatively short snapshot of the historical trend and then make sweeping generalizations.
Above is a chart that looks at the non farm job trend from 1994 through today. I've added a simple linear trendline which
remarkably jumps up right at the same point where Bush's "Wishful Thinking" comes in.
