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

[RealDave]

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.

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.

That has been explained to this idiot repeatedly. You can’t cure chronic stupidity.

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.

Wow, you really are this fucking stupid. Top consider their impact on the economy as a whole? To enter with a good economy & leave with a bad economy is far worse that entering with a bad economy & leaving with a good economy.


What is NOT fair is you trashing someone like Obama by totally ignoring what they inherited. In Obama's case he inherited the worst recession on 80 years, losing 800,000 jobs a month, a housing collapse, a near financial meltdown, two quagmire wars. mounting debt, a shrinking economy. It took over two years to get the unemployment rate back under 9%. This was NOT Obama's fault even if you Trumpettes say so. Gee I wonder what that does to your average unemployment rate? You call that fair?

Most smarty people understand that some of the worst effects of a recession happen after the recession is almost over. The Bush recession started 4th quarter of 2007 yet the unemployment rate did not max out until June 2009.

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.

What, EXACTLY, has Trump done to reduce unemployment? And why has he not magically too raised the paycheck of working men and women?

For the record, the rise in the average wage falls short of inflation. And the tax bill passed by the leadership of Ryan & McConnell, signed by Trump into law, is a fraud.

It is not reform, it is voodoo economics for a third iteration.

You people really are such a bunch of ignorant people.

OMG OMG OMG the participation rate!!!!!!!!!! OMG OMG ONG

This is how fucking stupid you are.

A lot of people work & their spouse stayed home with the kids. The one income is plenty. The economy turns bad & employers close or lay off & the only job that can be found is one that pays significantly less. The spouse has to get a job too to help financially.

Guess what, you'd be parading in the streets because you were such as dick to think that the now higher participation rate meant a better economy.

A year later, the economy improves, the one spouse gets a job that supports the family & the other spouse quits that job to stay at home.

You'd be here having a freaking fit.

" OMG OMG ONG the participation rate fell OMG OMG OMG"

I wish the fuck you people actually had brains & could think. Then we would not have such a fool like Trump as President.

Hey idiot... We have been telling it is what you get at and what you leave it...

Look at your list, Bush is considered a disaster but you list has been very acceptable...

He got unemployment at 4.3% and a surplus, he handed it back at 8.3% ( and sky rocketing) and $1Trillion+ deficit...

Trump inherited economy with deficit $585bn unemployment 4.7% (and dropping 1% a year).
So for Trump to continue Obama unemployment decreases he has to:

• Increase deficit to $1 trillion a year
• Triple inflation
• Cut services
• Income gap is widening

Dumbass.

That has been explained to this idiot repeatedly. You can’t cure chronic stupidity.

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.

I posted what Obama inherited from Bush & the Republicans. You ignore that stupid shit done under Bush like all the unfunded spending & his made up war in Iraq that killed 4500 US soldiers.

But hey, you keep electing Republicans because they have a really shitty track record on the debt & the economy as he ghead towards another trillion dollar deficit.

 

[RealDave]

Here is what I don't get about the current Republican Party, their track record really sucks. Especially on the national debt. Their policies of deregulation gave us the near financial meltdown.
I bet these same asshole Trumpettes were so proud in 2008 when Bush had to tell the American people that we had to spend billions to bail out the banks or the United States of America could go bankrupt in a downward spiral of a financial meltdown. Really, Were you assholes really Proud then????

Trump as the debt growing. Prices are going up. ( Remember when Trump said a tax cut would lower prices????).

US manufacturers pricing is going up because the ignorant fuck Trump put on tariffs? Yep, that helps exports.do nothing for the middle class except throw a few morsels while you load up the wealthy with more money.

Republicans that support them are just too fucking stupid to get it. I;ll take the econopmies underr Bill Clinton & Obama any day over Bush's & this Pillsbury Doughboy moron that sits in the Oval Office.

You are being redirected...At least 120 utilities have lowered electric, gas, or water rates due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

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?
.

Obama was anti business socialist so had slowest recovery since FDR! Without Republicans holding him back Obama would have been as bad as FDR!!

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

well, Clinton was conservative and driven toward capitalism by Newt when Republicans took over House for time in 40 years so he had good economy. Obama, an open Solyndra, cash for clunkers, socialist, had slowest recovery since Great Depression. Bush was mostly a liberal and Trump is doing Great as a conservative.

Your comparison is apples and oranges at best. Do you get these basics? Why not stick to just asking question in future?

Unlikely, but it does not mean it would be the same as what Obama had. Could be worse or better than Obama's record.

Unlikely? Impossible.

No, it doesn't mean it would have been exactly the same. But we don't know if it would have been higher or lower, or better or worse in the long term.

That's the very point. Trump claiming credit when nobody can tell if there's any credit due, because he didn't make this economy.

You seem to have no idea how the economy works.

Under your logic, Reagan would have seen a massive, MASSIVE drop in unemployment. He didn't. In fact unemployment for every Republican president since WW2 was higher as they left office than when they entered, except for Reagan.

Why is that? Why do Republicans end up with higher unemployment if their policies are designed to make lower unemployment?

And why is it that all Democratic presidents since WW2 have had lower unemployment when leaving office than when they entered except for Carter who had the same level?

"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.

But that would mean what makes a President good or bad is based only on monthly unemployment. I never said or indicated that. Also I agree that it is open to debate how much of each Presidents unemployment record they may be responsible for, good or bad. But regardless of those things, these are the hard facts.

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.

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.

You seem to have no idea how the economy works.

Under your logic, Reagan would have seen a massive, MASSIVE drop in unemployment. He didn't. In fact unemployment for every Republican president since WW2 was higher as they left office than when they entered, except for Reagan.

Why is that? Why do Republicans end up with higher unemployment if their policies are designed to make lower unemployment?

And why is it that all Democratic presidents since WW2 have had lower unemployment when leaving office than when they entered except for Carter who had the same level?

You need to look at unemployment throughout a Presidents term, not just the first month and the last month. Unemployment can go up and down many times during any administration. That's why taking the average, which considers EVERY MONTH, is the best way to look at the figure.

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%

"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.

But that would mean what makes a President good or bad is based only on monthly unemployment. I never said or indicated that. Also I agree that it is open to debate how much of each Presidents unemployment record they may be responsible for, good or bad. But regardless of those things, these are the hard facts.

They are facts, but statistic too. To repeat my early point, there are liars, damn liars and statistics.

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.

That has been explained to this idiot repeatedly. You can’t cure chronic stupidity.

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.

Wow, you really are this fucking stupid. Top consider their impact on the economy as a whole? To enter with a good economy & leave with a bad economy is far worse that entering with a bad economy & leaving with a good economy.


What is NOT fair is you trashing someone like Obama by totally ignoring what they inherited. In Obama's case he inherited the worst recession on 80 years, losing 800,000 jobs a month, a housing collapse, a near financial meltdown, two quagmire wars. mounting debt, a shrinking economy. It took over two years to get the unemployment rate back under 9%. This was NOT Obama's fault even if you Trumpettes say so. Gee I wonder what that does to your average unemployment rate? You call that fair?

Most smarty people understand that some of the worst effects of a recession happen after the recession is almost over. The Bush recession started 4th quarter of 2007 yet the unemployment rate did not max out until June 2009.

The old first month vs the last month is too small in terms of data to rate a President. There are 94 other months. A President does not deserve and F when his first 7.5 years he gets an A+ on unemployment in then suddenly in the last 3 months there is a shake up which sends unemployment sky rocketing. Its like failing a graduating student with a 4.0 grade average because they flunked their last test.

I did not trash Obama or anyone with the list. I only reported the facts from the labor statistics department. This list does not go into who was responsible for the recession in 2008/2009 or Obama's progress or lack of in getting out of it. It simply looks at what the man on the street experienced on average while each President was in office in terms of unemployment. Many people also consider the recession of 2008/2009 to be not as bad as the 1981/1982 recession. Also, the war in Iraq was going well when Obama entered office in early 2009. Casualties both civilian and military had dropped enormously from just two years before. Obama messed the Progress up though when he completely withdrew all troops too early at the end of 2011, resulting in him having to send them back in 2014.

Again, who is at fault for the "Bush recession" is another debate as is the work done by Obama to get out of it. The monthly unemployment rate is a fact. This is the record for each President in office since the monthly unemployment rate started being recorded in 1948.

There is also the retirement of the Baby Boomers which is helping Obama and Trump with their unemployment numbers. Without the retirement of the Baby Boomers, its likely Obama would be at the bottom of the list and Trump would not be anywhere near the top.

You people really are such a bunch of ignorant people.

OMG OMG OMG the participation rate!!!!!!!!!! OMG OMG ONG

This is how fucking stupid you are.

A lot of people work & their spouse stayed home with the kids. The one income is plenty. The economy turns bad & employers close or lay off & the only job that can be found is one that pays significantly less. The spouse has to get a job too to help financially.

Guess what, you'd be parading in the streets because you were such as dick to think that the now higher participation rate meant a better economy.

A year later, the economy improves, the one spouse gets a job that supports the family & the other spouse quits that job to stay at home.

You'd be here having a freaking fit.

" OMG OMG ONG the participation rate fell OMG OMG OMG"

I wish the fuck you people actually had brains & could think. Then we would not have such a fool like Trump as President.

Participation rate does impact the unemployment rate. With the Baby Boomers retiring, its helping the unemployment rate to drop and stay low. Its greater for employee's and those entering the work force for the first time. Its not a great time for employers though looking for workers.

Your spin won't turn. Get you facts correct, the Great Recession lasted two years: 2007 - 2009. Granted, there were less deaths and life long wounds once GWB stop listening to Cheney and the Neo-Cons, however, the troop removal date had been decided by Iraq when GW was still in office.

BTW, no one above rated a president, other than you in your covert manner. IMO you post is an effort to mislead the biddable and those who hate Obama. You might as well have questioned his place of birth, too.
