The average monthly job gain under Trump is now 167,182, well behind the average monthly gain of 213,708 jobs during Obama’s entire second term. It’s also well shy of the pace required to meet his goal of 25 million new jobs over 10 years.

----------------------

If they count unfilled jobs, then Trump is way ahead.

Shouldn't they count unfilled jobs?
