This is just part of the ground work for Biden to claim he and Obama are responsible for the current economy.

Using the start date and end date for jobs is disingenuous anyway. A better metric is "average employed." Obama started at the very nadir of the economic cycle and thus had the easiest job creation metrics to do since FDR. Additionally, Obama had the most accomodative Fed Reserve - EVER - for his entire presidency. Most of his jobs were also part time in nature.

Trump started at the very PEAK of an economic cycle and has still managed extremely strong job #s, and that's in the face a fed reserve that raised rates 8 times and reversed QE by $500 billion in his first two years.

No, only governmental jobs grew; those should not count.

The economy started improving the minute Trump was elected and business optimism returned to the United States.

What a joke, Forbes' Chuck Jones is. Under the 0's economy, I and some friends of mine had to work extra jobs to help with the bills or work with extra duties due to cut backs. I see a much more vibrancy and positive energy in how people are acting and reacting under Trump's economy.

Dems are doing what Dems do best. Deny and reflect/deflect their own failures, and leech on and lay claim the success of those who actually get things done.

The comparison has a major gap IMO...

Trump entered office on January 20, 2017, and starting with February 2017 he has been President for 29 months.

...

Working back from January 2017, Obama’s last month in office,

So, why is the comparison of Obama's last 27 months to Trumps first 27 months? (if I'm reading that correctly 'working back from Jan 2017"'). This is, as stated above, absolutely Damn Lies and Statistics.

When pro union, greenie, pro lawyer, arch leftist 0bama got elected in Nov 08, employers started letting go of people to the tune of about 600k per month.

These losses were blamed on bush who had less than 3 months left in office.

The best proxy for improved economy would be based on how much income is being taxed at the federal level.

Otherwise, a job as a barista counts the same as a job as a brain surgeon. Clearly, the relative worth added to the economy is quite different, and that difference would be reflected in the difference in incomes.

There was a pretty massive wealth transfer occurring at the same time as the Greatest Generation passed and their Boomer children sold their over priced homes and a lot of them retired early.

All of these employment numbers for the past eight years or so needs to be normalized against the change in demographics. Yes, as a percentage there are a ton of Americans working today. But how many households are there with early retired Boomers? That number has to be greater than previous generations.

This is not a reflection on anyone’s generation—but there are a lot of Boomers who, as they turn 70 are finally bailing out of the workforce—as well as those who took their parent’s inheritance and retired early.

I would like to see some figures for what the election of PDJT has done for other economies.....specifically Canada where the trade connection between the two countries means that the totally useless True-dope just migbt get re-elected with a majority by riding on the coat tails of the great economic improvements that PDJT has brought.....and True-dope had nothing to do with it.

If you count Food Stamps as “jobs,” then Obama is clearly the winner.

“Shovel ready” jobs that never existed, or appeared.
