But I’m also a believer that just like gas prices Presidents have limited control over economic activity. Instead the house, senate, and regulatory agencies have a bigger share of responsibility.
“JOBS, JOBS JOBS!!!” – Every democrat when the economy is in the shitter
Better blow jobs than no jobs
Jeezus. Bush “lost” jobs because of Great Recession and they went to Obama. Same thing regarding covid with trump and biden.
Im an independent voter calling out nonsense here.
Now show unemployment rate with the same categories.
I’d also like to see entrepreneur numbers over the same timeline. Like are job numbers increasing because it’s harder to start and manage a business.
I think half of it is Republican policies don’t work but the other half is Republicans just get unlucky with the economy
Bold of you to presume Republicans care about jobs rather than EPS, EBITDA, etc.
Is there a way for the president to explain to the people that they don’t control jobs openings?
Please enlighten me as to how a politician “creates jobs.”
Is there a reason that the seemingly random year of 1989 was chosen as the starting point?
WTF is jobs created ???
In 2020, when Covid started and Trump managed to come out of that epidemic without losing every job in existence, did that count as jobs created ??? Those were absolutely jobs created.
What about all the jobs that have disappeared due to self check out ? Do those show up in these metrics ??
And then how are these jobs being created ? If Biden is taking $50 billion in debt to give to Samsung to build a chip factory ? Are those jobs created ?
What happens if that factory is completed after the election and the hiring doesn’t happen until Trump takes office ? Who created the jobs ?
To me, this is a complete Bullshit made up number.
i’ve been in Corporate Life for 30 years, and I haven’t seen any of my companies have more postings under Democrat Presidents then they do under Republicans.
Yeah wait this is the stupidest thing I have ever seen all of the democrats just inherited the US post financial crisis and saw the fruits of a recovering economy. (These crashes really had little to do with the president, HW bush had to deal with the Japanese market crash, Trump had Covid which would have trashed the economy no matter what, W bush got the 2008 crisis which to be fair he could have limited the impact of but it did kinda blindside both parties so idk that a Democrat would have done anything different)
Low paying, shit mcjobs. It’s unbelievable people are still falling for this okie doke horseshit.
So misleading. One thing I learned about stats is if you try hard enough you can make them so anything you want.
Are they doing anything useful?
Paying one million people to dig holes and another million to fill them back in doesn’t help anyone.
The proof is in the stats. Stop being a bitch and start using stats to back up your ‘feelings’ repubs! VOTE!!
– George H. W. Bush: 1990 Recession
– George W. Bush: 9/11, 2008 Finanical Crisis
– Donald Trump: Covid19
Each of the last 3 Republican Presidents had to deal with recessions completely outside of their control, while the following Democrat presidents benefitted from the bounce back.
This is in fact, a flat out lie. 😂
This is all good and fine but does it take into account all the people working 5 jobs to have just enough to pay for rent and groceries.
Democrats are better economically, but some of the reasons people give are a piss take.
Giving Biden credit for the Covid rebound jobs is crazy. You forget we actually lived through 2016-2020, things were incredible until Covid. It’s not deniable. Nobody was complaining about the economy. They were complaining about Trump’s rhetoric & antics for 3 years before Covid hit. That’s it.

the problem with numbers is that humans use them anyway they want..
Hold up I thought they all on same team
Presidents don’t write the laws that impact the economy. Congress does.
This is also propaganda
Love to see every mainstream reddit sub filled with democrat propaganda right before an election!
Instead of a random graphic. The Economist actually confirms there’s some truth here.
[Since 1989 a mere 1.3m jobs have been created in net terms with Republicans in the Oval Office—despite the party’s reputation for being more business-friendly. With Democrats in power a net 49.4m jobs have been added. Defined narrowly—just considering monthly employment figures—the chart is indeed accurate.](https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2024/03/19/five-charts-compare-democrats-and-republicans-on-job-creation)

A couple thoughts..
1) is job creation a lagging measure?
2) does this account for (at least the current president) revisions in the job market? [latest revision](https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/21/nonfarm-payroll-growth-revised-down-by-818000-labor-department-says.html) . This obviously would not eliminate the staggering disparity, but these revisions have been going on for a couple of years now.
