EVERY President since 1965 who did not experience a recession during the first 30 months of their term in office saw at least 5.264 million jobs created in the US during that same time span. Every one.
Trump at the 30 month mark has seen 5.736 million jobs added. #7 out of 14.
Trump at the 30 month mark has seen 5.736 million jobs added. #7 out of 14.
If you exclude the six Presidential terms which coincided with a US recession and look at only the eight which didn’t, Trump now ranks #7 out of 8 for number of jobs created during the first 30 months of a President’s term in office over the past 54 years.
In terms of jobs created during the first 30 months of a President’s first elected term in office, Trump now ranks #3 out of 8.
If you again factor in recessions, he ranks #3 out of 3.
