Obvious evidence of being mentally unable to carry out his duties as President, requiring butt-hurt Democrats to attempt to invoke the 25th Amendment, stopping this vicious, unstable cycle of WINNING.

So, when you come into office with a 7 + percent in the midst of it heading to 10%, it is your fault?

Really?

How about we consider thongs like Bush taking office with a 4% rate & leaving with a 7.7 losing 800,000 jobs a month. Dores that count?

Or Obama taking office with losing 800,000 jobs a month with a 7.7% on the way to 10% & leaving with a 4.9?

Which did better?????

Dumbass.

 

[RealDave]

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.

Really. They are no longer retiring?

Dumbass.

Its not about a particular moment in time, the beginning months, the last months etc. Its about EVERY MONTH all 96 of them. That's what the man on the street experiences. You have to look at every month during the time a person was in office. For most of the time Bush was in office, unemployment was low and it was relatively easy to get a job. You won't see or understand that if you just focus on his last 3 months in office and leave at the other 93 months. Also, Bush had a rise in unemployment while he was in office to 6.3% in 2003. He got that back down to 4.4% though by 2006. Another thing you don't see when you just look at the first month and last month of an administration.

Its great that Unemployment was down to 4.7% when Obama left, but that does not remove the fact that it was often above 8% unemployment for many years while he was in office. The man on the street suffered unemployment of 8% or more for some time, and getting it down to 4.7% does not remove that fact.

Nope they are still retiring which is helping Trumps numbers to. Someone born in 1953 is 65 now. The last year of the babyboom is 1963. So we probably have 10 more years of this having a significant impact on the unemployment rate.

You mean you posted your whiny propaganda. Obama inherited an economy that had just past the rebound point of a recession. The only way it could go was up. The best thing he could do was nothing. Nevertheless, he stuck his fingers in it and caused the slowest recovery since the Great Depression.

Bush, on the other hand, was handed the collapse of the tech bubble. He also had 9/11 to deal with. Economic ignoramuses like you always ignore these facts.

It wouldn't be smart to rate a President simply on the first month of office and the last month of office which you suggest. There are 94 other months in there which you are not considering. This is also simply looking at what the man on the street is experiencing while said person is in the White House. Who are what is responsible for the unemployment rate at a particular time is more complicated.

thanks! Good info!

but I must say on LBJ's unemployment rate being the best, I'm not so certain that's a fair number, though admittingly accurate... we were near full fledged in to the Viet Nam War during his term weren't we?

And wouldn't that bring unemployment down because of the 100's of thousands over the years being drafted and pulled out of the private workforce and given jobs in the Military, leaving fewer in the workforce for the private sector to hire, and thus a reduction in unemployment rates???

Just for the record, I am NOT a Trump supporter. I'm a Republican who voted for Hillary Clinton. This November I'll be voting only for DEMOCRATS because of Trump. I believe the 25th amendment should be used now and Trump removed from office.

The statistics I'm using are from the bureau of labor statistics. There is no lying or misleading. When you average each monthly unemployment rate for each President, this is what you get. Its basic math using factual numbers from the bureau of labor statistics. Its a factual truth, no dishonesty.

The monthly unemployment rate for August 2018 was 3.9%. This is the 20th unemployment report with Trump in office, his 20th month recorded for this list. This brings Trump's average unemployment rate for his term in office to date, down from 4.22% in July to 4.20% in August 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. Donald Trump: 4.20%
03. Harry Truman: 4.26%
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 31 months left in Trumps first Presidential term, assuming he completes it.

The labor force participation rate is at 62.7% for August 2018, down from 62.9% in July 2018.

If September's unemployment rate is 3.9% or lower, Trump will top the list next month.

thanks! Good info!

but I must say on LBJ's unemployment rate being the best, I'm not so certain that's a fair number, though admittingly accurate... we were near full fledged in to the Viet Nam War during his term weren't we?

And wouldn't that bring unemployment down because of the 100's of thousands over the years being drafted and pulled out of the private workforce and given jobs in the Military, leaving fewer in the workforce for the private sector to hire, and thus a reduction in unemployment rates???

This is a very good point that I think might be true. You also see a bit of it in the numbers during the Korean War. The lowest monthly unemployment rate of 2.5% was during the Korean War, early 1950s. The late 60s had a lot of months where unemployment was around 3% or 3.5%.

Either way, Trump is on track to top it next month or soon after.

"There are liars, damn liars and statistics" This post qualifies as a damn lie using a single statistic which also qualifies as a lie by omission.

Thanks once again to the author for proving that his/her hate effort to mislead the reader is sophomoric and a total failure, as well as a typical form of idiot-gram, Trumpanzee variety!

Thanks for sharing.

Just for the record, I am NOT a Trump supporter. I'm a Republican who voted for Hillary Clinton. This November I'll be voting only for DEMOCRATS because of Trump. I believe the 25th amendment should be used now and Trump removed from office.

The statistics I'm using are from the bureau of labor statistics. There is no lying or misleading. When you average each monthly unemployment rate for each President, this is what you get. Its basic math using factual numbers from the bureau of labor statistics. Its a factual truth, no dishonesty.

The inference in you post is Obama is the 11th worst President since Ford, and Trump is the second best since LBJ. That is why I posted what I posted. If your effort to not have this inference as the takeaway, you needed to explain some very fuzzy math to the reader.

Imagine if Trump had won in 2008. Would his unemployment record be so good?

yes it would have been. He wouldn't have regulated jobs out of the country. He would injected an entirely different mindset. I know you hate 3.9% unemployment you'd prefer the 7% but real americans don't. you can whine all fking days the hand obammy was handed, it was his job to correct it. never did. participation rate was way down by the end of his two terms. that sucks. pisses me off actually, and is why trump won.
