Hahahahha, I made you admit the big change under Obama during the same time period - the most recent one and a half year.
Thanks for playing, now go back to ballwashing your pedophile messiah.
Actually, all you did was prove again that you need to redo 4th grade math.
Trump has 17 months worth of data: from 7.8% to 5.9%, a reduction of 24%.
During Obama's last 17 months, the rate went from from 9.2% to 7.8%, a reduction of only 15%.
Thanks for losing again. Now go back to proving Trump owns you by posting your demented rants about him day and night.
Who told you to cherry pick last 17 months? Is this how you work your sample size dumb inbred?
Thanks for proving the great scientist you are, go donate to the billionaire so he can watch porn with his daughter like the incestuous baboon he is.
Starts a thread to denounce offensive comments that broad brush a large group of people. Quickly makes an offensive comment that broad brushes a large group of people. This woman is clearly a racist idiot who deserved to lose her job.
This woman is clearly a racist idiot who deserved to lose her job.
Being offensive is not the same as being racist.
This woman is clearly a racist idiot who deserved to lose her job.
Imagine a thread where liberals call out another liberal for making a comment that is out of line or derogatory.
I know, it's tough, but imagine.

Which President Created the Most Jobs?
12 Presidents' Jobs Creation by Number and Percent
By Kimberly Amadeo
Updated February 15, 2018
Which president created the most jobs? You must look at percent as well as the total number of jobs generated to compare presidents over time.
- It's much easier to create lots of jobs today since the economy is bigger. For example, there were 143.1 million people working in 2015. That's 10 times more than the 31.5 million employed in 1939 (the earliest year counted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.)
Trump has his tax cuts, which the Left says doesn't help, but there has not been enough time since it's passing to show its effect on our economy yet.
In spite of all this, and the fact effective employment near full capacity, more jobs are still rolling in. It is harder to create additional jobs when you are close to full capacity than when there are lots of unemployed.
With that in mind, Bill Clinton created the most number of jobs (23.2 million) during his term. Barack Obama is second, creating 17.2 million jobs from the beginning to the end of his term. But Obama created 22.3 million jobs from the worst part of the Great Recession (January 2010) through the end of his term. Unemployment continued to rise even after the recession ended in July 2009. That's typical. Some companies continue to shed workers even after the economy turns around. They want to make sure the recession is truly over before they start hiring again.
Lyndon B. Johnson added the most jobs percentage-wise (20.7 percent) during his two terms. Franklin Roosevelt created the most percentage-wise (32.7 percent) since the depths of the Great Depression. But, it's not fair to use that because he was in office for more than two terms.
A president's record at job creation depends somewhat on the business cycle. For example, those who inherited a recession, like Clinton, Obama, Reagan, Carter and LBJ, did better at job creation. They started with a low base, and so had nowhere to go but up. Those that created recessions, like both Bushes, Nixon, and Eisenhower, did the worst.
Presidents have many tools to create jobs. The most important tools are expansive fiscal policy, especially deficit spending. Government spending can employ people directly and through contracting. That will encourage the private sector to hire through greater demand from consumers. But all presidents must have Congressional budget approval before they can spend.
A president does have one unique tool as the leader of the free world. He can inspire confidence through a compelling vision. A president who can articulate a message that reverses doubt and pessimism will be successful in creating jobs.
This is exactly what Trump has done. The numbers speak for themselves: Consumer confidence is at very high levels, Nasdaq hit another all time high yesterday, we now have the lowest unemployment rate spanning many administrations, and the transportation index at decisive all time highs.

Bill Clinton (1993-2001)
•••
Clinton added 21.5 million jobs, a 19.6 percent increase. There were 131 million people employed in December 1999, the end of his term. That's 21.5 million more than the 109.5 million employed at the beginning of his term.
Unlike most presidents, he did this through contractionary fiscal policy. He presided over eight years of steady economic growth without adding to the debt. He created a surplus, reducing the debt by $63 billion. His Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 raised the top tax rate from 28 percent to 36 percent for high-income earners. He increased the top corporate tax rate from 34 percent to 36 percent. He created the earned income tax credit for low-income families and raised the gas tax by $.043 per gallon.
- At the same time, he cut welfare spending. Recipients had to get jobs after two years. His policies cut the number on welfare by two-thirds, to 4.5 million, by 2004. Clinton created 14 practical ideas to create jobs.

02
Barack Obama (2009-2017)
•••
President Obama created 17.267 million jobs by the end of December 2016, a 12.8 percent increase. There were 152.111 million people employed at the end of his term. That's compared to 134.844 million working at the end of the Bush Administration.
But that doesn't give the total picture. The economy lost 8.7 million jobs as a result of the 2008 financial crisis. It kept shedding them until January 2010. Since that low point, Obama created 22.309 million jobs, a 17.2 percent increase.
Obama attacked the Great Recession with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. It created jobs through public works. Many of those jobs were in construction. That successfully reduced the unemployment rate. But that meant Obama increased the debt by $7.9 trillion, a 67 percent increase. That drove the debt to GDP ratio to 104 percent.
It didn't stimulate demand as much as creating the same number of better paying high-tech jobs. In fact, jobs created after the last few recessions have led to greater income inequality, as re-hired workers became willing to take jobs that paid less. The high level of long-term unemployed and underemployed meant that trend only continued.
Job creation would have been stronger during Obama's term if Congress hadn't passed sequestration. In his last FOMC meeting, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke noted that these austerity measures forced the government to shed 600,000 jobs in four years. In the prior recovery, the economy added 400,000 jobs during the same period.
Obama outline his job creation strategies in his State of the Union Addresses and the American Jobs Act.

Ronald Reagan (1981-1989)
•••
Reagan added 15.9 million jobs during his eight-year term, a 17.6 percent increase. There were 106.9 million people working in December 1988 compared to 91 million in December 1980.
He responded to the 1981 recession with Reaganomics. This was expansive fiscal policy based on supply-side economics. Reagan cut the top income tax rate from 70 percent to 28 percent. He also cut the top corporate tax rate from 48 percent to 34 percent. He increased government spending by 2.5 percent a year. His policies doubled the debt.

Lyndon B. Johnson (1963-1969)
•••
Johnson added 11.9 million jobs to the 57.36 million employed in December 1963. That's a 20.7 percent increase.
LBJ spent on social programs, such as Medicare, Medicaid, and the War on Poverty. That increased the debt by 13 percent. By the time he left office, the economy was growing a robust 4.9 percent. That created a 4.7 percent inflation rate.
-
05
Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933-1945)
Roosevelt added 10.3 million jobs, a 32.7 percent increase over the 31.5 million workers since 1939. (That's as far back as the jobs numbers go.) This was after he created the New Deal to end the Great Depression. FDR also built up the economy to enter World War II.
-
06
Richard Nixon (1969-1974)
•••
Nixon added 8.8 million jobs to the 69.246 million workers at the end of the Johnson Administration. That's a 12.7 percent increase.
He initially presided over a growing economy. Americans celebrated by importing more goods. As they paid in dollars, foreigners started redeeming them for gold. The Bretton Woods Agreement guaranteed an ounce of gold for every $35. The United States could not redeem the $45.7 billion in global dollars, since it only held $14.5 billion in gold. The Federal Reserve raised interest rates to defend the gold standard, but that created the 1970 recession.
Nixon ordered a 90-day freeze on wages and prices, which worsened the recession. He soon abandoned the gold standard completely. That created double-digit inflation, as the dollar's value plummeted to $120 per ounce of gold.
Nixon won re-election, but his actions created the 1973 recession, coupled with double-digit inflation. That situation is called stagflation. Nixon resigned on August 8, 1974, due to the Watergate scandal.

Harry Truman (1945-1953)
•••
Truman added 8.3 million jobs, a 19.8 percent increase. He added $7 billion to the debt to fight two recessions. The end of World War II caused the 1945 recession, which reappeared in 1949.
-
08
Dwight Eisenhower (1953-1961)
•••
Eisenhower added 3.6 million jobs, a 7.1 percent increase. He increased the debt by 9 percent, or $23 billion, to fight two recessions. The end of the Korean War caused the 1953 recession. High interest rates caused the 1957 recession.
Part of Eisenhower's success with job creation was due to his creation of the Interstate Highway System. He spent $25 billion to build 41,000 miles of road.
Research shows that public works construction is one of the best uses of federal funds to create jobs. One billion dollars spent on public transportation creates 19,795 construction jobs. It's a better unemployment solution than income tax cuts, which only creates 10,779 jobs for the same price.

John F. Kennedy (1961-1963)
•••
Kennedy added 3.6 million jobs, a 6.7 percent increase. His inaugural speech created confidence. He endorsed deficit spending, increasing the debt by 8.6 percent. He raised the minimum wage, improved Social Security benefits, and passed an urban renewal package. That ended the 1960 recession he inherited from Eisenhower.
-
10
George W. Bush (2001-2009)
•••
President Bush created 2.1 million jobs during his eight-year term. That's because he struggled with two recessions. He lost 3.6 million jobs in 2008, his last year in office. The job gains were before that, as he recovered from the 2001 recession. He responded to it with stimulus checks and the Bush tax cuts. Neither of these are the best ways to create jobs. He was helped by low interest rates from Alan Greenspan's expansive monetary policy.

One-Term Presidents
•••
Presidents who only served one term had less time to create jobs.
George H.W. Bush (1989-1993) added 2.6 million jobs, a 17.6 percent increase. He added $1.5 trillion to the debt, a 54 percent increase.
Jimmy Carter (1977-1981) added 10.5 million jobs, a 13 percent increase. He did that by adding $299 billion to the $699 billion debt, a 43 percent increase.
Gerald Ford (1974-1977) added 2.4 million jobs, a 3.1 percent increase. He inherited the 1973 recession from President Nixon. He added $224 billion to the U.S. debt, which was a 47 percent increase.
Trump is fulfilling many of his campaign promises and appears to be crushing it on most things economic.
The fly in the ointment is trade relations. If we get into a full blown trade war, all bets are off.
However, North Korea presents a huge diplomatic and ultimately economic opportunity for North Korea, China, Russia, and the United States. South Korea and Japan will also benefit from geopolitical stability and perhaps will even benefit economically under a "a rising tide benefits all" theory.
Poor exGOPer... he cries that it's just not fair to compare Obama's entire record to Trump's. Then he cries that it's just not fair to compare Obama's last year and a half to Trump's. Then he cries about sample size.
Well, Trump has only been president for a year and a half, so let's compare Obama's mean 16 month decline to Trump's only one so far.
During Trump's presidency, there have been 17 data points spanning 16 months. Black unemployment went from 7.8% to 5.9%, which is a decline of 24.4%.
Obama was president for 8 years which is six back-to-back 16 month intervals. Black unemployment was at 12.7% in Jan 2009 and ultimately declined to 7.8% under his watch, which is a decrease of 38.6%.
So... starting at 12.7%, what is the mean decrease that, when applied every 16 months, would bring black unemployment down a total of 38.6% after 8 years? Answer: 7.8%.
Trump: 24.4% decline versus Obama's mean decline of 7.8%. Suck on that.
Trump: 24.4% decline versus Obama's mean decline of 7.8%. Suck on that.
Your pedo messiah called them fake, now I have to believe the numbers because your arbitrarily chosen start and end points show a bigger increase. LOL
It's wonderful that your trailer park has access to high speed internet though.
