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

[Wry Catcher]

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.

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 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.

Maybe it's time to establish a new and revised Bracero Program; the hate and fear of immigrants has done nothing but harm people and our nation's image.

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

Bush is considered a disaster by some Democrats. But if you look at the actual facts, unemployment for one, it tells a different story. The unemployment rate under Bush for 7 years was generally fantastic as far as history goes. George Bush won re-election in 2004 with the first majority in the popular vote since 1988. He did that based on his record which was not considered a disaster by most people. The recession the last few months of his administration does not nullify the 7 years of a good economic record prior to that.

The fact is, for most of the 96 months that Bush was in office, the unemployment rate was low and the man on the street had a job or an easy time finding one. What happened in the last few months of Bush's administration in 2008 CAN NEVER erase that.

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.

The greatest act of deregulation happened under Bill Clinton with the repeal of Glass-Steagall.

Can you say dotcom

 

[U2Edge]

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.

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.

The troop removal date was something that could be adjusted at any time. It was not set in stone. Obama just decided to let it go and it was a mistake even he admits too now. No President was rated in the thread. The only thing looked at is the monthly unemployment rate.

so now its changed, the exec. has zip to do with employment...got it.

I remember when it changed. When Obama inherited a high unemployment, it was all on him. Then, as it dropped, pathetic little fucktards decided it had nothing to do with a president. Now, the same fucktards are attributing the unemployment level to ************ Donnie shitstain

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.

Well, that's still a simplistic view of things. People try and quantify what presidents do, but often the impact of their policies takes a long time.

Take Bush and his wars. Yes, the impact started in 2008, but it may well take decades before it wears off. The whole of the recession period and then the subsequent rise are as a consequence of his actions. Okay, he's not responsible for all of it, and the rise wasn't carried out by him, but it was inevitable. And then next drop could be quite bad too. He's potentially set up a much more violence boom and bust situation.

At the same time presidents aren't responsible for the whole economy. Congress plays a part. Individuals play a part too.

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.

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

Bush is considered a disaster by some Democrats. But if you look at the actual facts, unemployment for one, it tells a different story. The unemployment rate under Bush for 7 years was generally fantastic as far as history goes. George Bush won re-election in 2004 with the first majority in the popular vote since 1988. He did that based on his record which was not considered a disaster by most people. The recession the last few months of his administration does not nullify the 7 years of a good economic record prior to that.

The fact is, for most of the 96 months that Bush was in office, the unemployment rate was low and the man on the street had a job or an easy time finding one. What happened in the last few months of Bush's administration in 2008 CAN NEVER erase that.

When you borrow money & hand it to the public, it helps the economy.

Unfunded wars, unfunded tax cuts, unfunded expansions to Medicare.

I mean really what kind of fucking idiots do tax cuts at a time of war?

I never agreed with Bush's tax cuts for people making more than $100,000 a year. As for the wars, the annual cost of both per year was a fraction of the total Defense Budget. Plus as a percentage of GDP, less was being spent on Defense(including expenses for the wars) while W. was President than during the peace time of the 1980s. Spending on Defense as a percentage of GDP averaged around 6% during the 1980s, while it averaged around 4% during the 2000s.

40% still ain't working thanks to Bush & the Republican DISASTER & you retards claim victory. Clinton had the BEST employment record in History! Trumptard Repubtards are Destroying this Country withe RECORD DEFICITS & DEBT!!!

The highest labor force participation rate in the economy was 67.3% under Bill Clinton. It was still at 66% percent during Bush's last year in office. Still a historical high although not as high as Bill Clintons best. The major drops in the labor force participation rate happened in the Obama years. This largely due to the retirement of the baby boom generation, one of the largest generations in history.

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.

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 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.

The point here is that there's a reality, and there's statistics. Things will impact statistics, but you have to be able to read and understand what's happening in real life when you look at the statistics.

It's like saying the county has 100% employment rate, but 50% of those people are working 10 hours a week and don't earn enough money to even pay their rent compared to 94% employment rate where 93% of people are able to pay their rent, buy food and have a little extra.

100% doesn't mean it's better than 94%.
