The President with the worst average unemployment rate since World War II is?

[U2Edge]

The monthly unemployment rate for April 2018 was 3.9%. This is the 16th unemployment report with Trump in office, his 16th month recorded for this list. This brings Trump's average unemployment rate for his term in office to date, down from 4.30% in March to 4.28% in April 2018.


The President with the worst average unemployment rate since World War II is?

Gerald Ford: 7.77%

Average Unemployment Rates for US Presidents since after World War II:

01. Lyndon Johnson: 4.19%
02. Harry Truman: 4.26%
03. Donald Trump: 4.28%
04. Dwight Eisenhower: 4.89%
05. Richard Nixon: 5.00%
06. Bill Clinton: 5.20%
07. George W. Bush: 5.27%
08. John Kennedy: 5.98%
09. George H.W. Bush: 6.30%
10. Jimmy Carter: 6.54%
11. Barack Obama: 7.45%
12. Ronald Reagan: 7.54%
13. Gerald Ford: 7.77%



There are 34 months left in Trumps first Presidential term, assuming he completes it.

The labor force participation rate is at 62.8%, down from 62.9% in March 2018.

With the monthly unemployment rate dropping to below 4%, at 3.9% now, it marks only the 6 month since 1970 that the monthly unemployment rate has been this low. The only other time since 1970 was back in 2000 when the unemployment rate was at 3.8% in April of that year as well as 3.9% from September to December 2000.

If the unemployment rate continues to stay this low or around this low for the next several months, Trump will probably move to the top of the list in terms of having the lowest average unemployment rate of any President in history. But it will be very difficult to stay at the top for the rest of his term.

President Trump just scored a 3.9% Unemployment Rate. Lowest in 17.5 years. YUGE.

 

[U2Edge]

President Trump just scored a 3.9% Unemployment Rate. Lowest in 17.5 years. YUGE.

If it eventually drops to 3.7%, that would be the lowest since 1969, the lowest in almost 50 years! The record is 2.5% set in 1953 when IKE was President.

 

[U2Edge]

The monthly unemployment rate for May 2018 was 3.8%. This is the 17th unemployment report with Trump in office, his 17th month recorded for this list. This brings Trump's average unemployment rate for his term in office to date, down from 4.28% in April to 4.25% in May 2018.

There are 34 months left in Trumps first Presidential term, assuming he completes it.

The labor force participation rate is at 62.7%, down from 62.8% in April 2018.

Donald Trump moves up from #3 to #2 on the all time list of Presidents for the best average unemployment in history passing Harry Truman! But it remains to be seen if Donald Trump can keep the unemployment rate this low. His trade tariffs threaten to ruin the economy which will shift unemployment back up higher. But, in the meantime, if the unemployment rate were to drop just a little more, he could wind up at #1 on the list by the end of the summer. The question is how long will he be able to stay there.

If the monthly rate falls from 3.8% to 3.7% or less, it will be the lowest unemployment rate since December 1969 when it was 3.5%. The lowest monthly unemployment rate ever in history on record is 2.5% back in May and June of 1953 while IKE was President at the end of the Korean War.

 

[U2Edge]

The monthly unemployment rate for June 2018 was 4.0%. This is the 18th unemployment report with Trump in office, his 18th month recorded for this list. This brings Trump's average unemployment rate for his term in office to date, down from 4.25% in May to 4.23% in June 2018.

Although the Unemployment rate came up a little in June to 4.0% from 3.8%, Trumps monthly unemployment rate average still dropped from 4.25% in May to 4.23% in June. At the rate it is dropping, Trump will overtake Lyndon Johnson for the #1 spot by August or September.

These good numbers are based on the Obama economic recovery.

Given that the method for determining the UE rate is continually fiddled with, how are they comparable over long periods of time?

Regardless of criteria, it is an attempt to accurately estimate the monthly unemployment rate each month. Most economist consider the data accurate enough since 1948 to be able to make comparisons.

Average rate of unemployment is a joke figure....

Does the team who win the Super bowl be the one who had the average highest score during the game? NO...
It is how much did you score during the game...

A President has a time of lets say 9 months before anything he does affects unemployment figures ( it usually between 6 - 12 months)
So lets look at Obama, 9 months after he took office unemployment was at 10%, 9 months after he handed back it was 4.1%...
So Obama gets a +5.9%... Good score...

Now in fairness Trump has a lot lower because of Obama so He obviously can't get +5.9% but we figure full employment around 3.5%... So getting there or even under 4.0% would be a fair achievement as long as he is not borrowing and is actually paying back...

So Trump has brought it under 4.0% but he borrowing $1tn a year... That is the clause... What happens when the economy turns and the economy needs money pumped into it? Trump would have to borrow even more money....

Trump should be concentrated on the Deficit, unemployment is fine, mainly because of Obama...

loser

Trump & The Congress have done nothing to earn this praise. Jobs were in free fall from Jan. '09 until late in '10. Using an average is both stupid and dishonest.

That is what happens when you elect a government worshipping, Community Activist as President.

 

[JakeStarkey]

the UE has nothing to do with Trump or Congress (dem or pub)

 

[KissMy]

Trump is now Increasing the Unemployment Rate & Lowering GDP

 

[JakeStarkey]

The GDP has certainly not exceeded the last two years of Obama's annual rate.

Trump is a loser.

Government policy has always impacted the countries economy as well as its unemployment rate. Its not the only thing that does, but it does have a major impact and must be looked at.

Average rate of unemployment is a joke figure....
a...

No its a fact and shows what the average man on the street had to deal with while a certain person was sitting in the oval office. The numbers are real as well as the people impacted by those numbers. What's up for debate is how much the person in the oval office at the time impacted the numbers.

 

[U2Edge]

The biggest factor in the decline of the Unemployment rate since Obama came to office is likely the retirement of the babyboom generation and the impact on the labor force participation rate. With immigration NOT at record levels and the retirement of the boomers, labor shortages are starting to appear across the country. Continued growth in the economy and no recessions has also helped too, but its likely the bigger factor is the boomers retiring.
