The Labor Department reported the economy added 115,000 jobs in April and that the unemployment rate came in at 4.3%. In Trump's first 4 months of his second term a total of 297,000 jobs has been added for an average of 72, 450 per month. In Trump's 64 months as President his job creation stands at a negative 2. 2 million jobs lost.
President Biden's record over that same period of time in his Presidency was as follows: In April 2022 428,000 jobs were created and the unemployment rate came in at 3.6%. For his first 4 months in 2022 a total of 1.4 million jobs were created and the average for those 4 months were 358,000 jobs per month.
Trump and his GOP cult continue the precedent they have set for the past 80 plus years and is predictable as ever. The media in general are aware of that fact, won't tell the story and instead continue to run with Trump and the GOP lies and misinformation concerning economic matters. The media's goal at the present is to misrepresent how inflation has increased on Trump's watch and like his lies are accepting it as the new norm.
The bottom line on the economy never change, Democratic administrations are best for the country, its people and for supporting democracy.
