So for a couple of years now, I have been updating the cumulative stats for the number of jobs created to date in the current President's term in office and comparing it to all of the other Presidents since 1965 at the same exact point in time.

So here goes for Biden month 3.

Number of jobs added to US payrolls during the first three full months of a President's term in office, 1965-Present, ranked.

By the way, the place to check jobs numbers (or verify what somebody, including me, is saying) is data.bls.gov/timeseries/CES…. You can go all the way back to 1939.

Test everything. Fact check everything and everybody. Don't automatically believe anything because anybody says it.
