The U.S. Labor Department reported belatedly that the economy added 119,000 jobs in September and that the unemployment rate came in at 4.4%, up from the previous month. We can now compare Trump's first 9 months in office to Biden's first 9 months in office. 716,000 jobs have been created in Trump's first 9 months in office. So, after a total of 57 months in office as President, job creation is still in a negative position of 2 million jobs lost. The unemployment rate is up on Trump's watch, it was 4% when Biden left office.
In Biden's first term, 312,000 jobs were created in September 2021 and a total of over 3.3 million jobs were created in his first 9 months in office. The unemployment rate in September 2021 was 4.8%, down from the 6.3% when he took office.
The Department also reported that 4,000 jobs were lost in August making it the second month this year so far that the economy lost jobs. No such thing took place during Biden's four years in office. Manufacturing lost 6,000 jobs in September and a total of 58,000 jobs between April and September.
The numbers continue to tell the story of Trump and his GOP's inability to create job, lowering the unemployment and governing over a good economy. The precedent of Trump and his party's pitiful performance will continue as long as ideology controls their thoughts.
