The President with the worst average unemployment rate since World War II is?

[Dagosa]

The monthly unemployment rate for December 2023 was 3.7%. This is the 36th unemployment report with Biden in office, his 36th month recorded for this list. This brings Biden's average unemployment rate for his term in office to date, down from 4.23% in November 2023 to 4.20% in December 2023.

All bullshit. When Obama came into office, the unemployment rate was near 8% and rose the first year to 10% due to the republican / Bush recession. All you a- holes did was complain because the rate didn’t go down fast enough his first year
, “even before he had passed a budget” . He then showed slow steady progress and left with The jobless rate steadily declined from 10 percent in 2010 to 4.7 percent. when Obama left office in January 2017…..You now want Bush recession to count against Obama, and the trend of steady decrease he HANDED to Trump to count against him and for Trump …HE left with 6.3% unemployment and nearly 2 million plus jobs lost. You’re stupid and math illiterate,

This thread is about AVERAGE MONTHLY UNEMPLOYMENT since World War II while each President was in office. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

[U2Edge]

It’s a fallacy. The average is deceptive. It’s all about the TRENDS. You can have an average speed of 55 mph on a trip, but it only matters when the cop picks you up doing 85 mph through town. Same with temperature. Same with everything including the economy. It’s the TREND not the average. You could have a recession with 10% unemployment for the passed three months and claim everything is fine, because it was 5% average for the whole year before then.

Worker productivity and students grades are based on averages, not just their first month and last month.

 

[U2Edge]

Two students take 4 test...

Student A gets:

100
65
55
50

His average is 67.5

Student B gets:

20
70
80
100

His average is 67.5

Both have the exact same average, which would you say has a better understanding of the information in the class? Or would you assume they are equal?

If you were instead to look at the median and not the average, Student A has a 60 while Student B has 75. This gives a far more accurate picture of both students.

GPA, Grade Point Average is a key factor in measuring all students from Grade School to Graduate School. Worker productivity will also look at averages as well.

Knowing the average monthly unemployment rate for a President that was in office for 96 months is more accurate picture of what life was like while they were in office, then simply looking at the unemployment rate in the first month and the 96th month and ignoring everything that happened in the 94 months in between.

 

[U2Edge]

Exactly.
Yup, it’s about the trend like everything else is adjudged.
It matters that Trump had a recession with higher unemployment numbers not that the previous months had a better average.It’s ridiculous..

What is ridiculous is CHERRY PICKING information as a case for ignoring averages.

The monthly unemployment rate for January 2024 was 3.7%. This is the 37th unemployment report with Biden in office, his 37th month recorded for this list. This brings Biden's average unemployment rate for his term in office to date, down from 4.20% in December 2023 to 4.19% in January 2024.

Trends bubba, trends. Get a life and take a course in economics. Obama was stuck with Bush’s failed economy. He turned things around for Trump. Trump fked it up for Biden. See the routine ?

You must be having a tough time losing weight then. If you dropped from three hundred to 200, you’d still have an average of 250 fatso. But gee, you’re now at 200. According to you, you’re still a fat ass 250 regardless cause foolish, that’s your average weight. You make no sense, bubba.

Nothing wrong with trends, but they don't always occur, and the metric in this thread is not meant to, necessarily, rebut them. I've never once claimed that Obama was responsible for a recession that started in late 2008 either. Biden has had one of the best economies for any U.S. President in history based on average quarterly real GDP growth, monthly average unemployment(TOP OF THIS LIST), as well as historically low average poverty rate. Inflation was temporarily high, but it is now back down to low levels, especially for the strongest growing economy the United States has had since the 1990s.

Joe Biden will win in November, and likely will continue to add to his good economic numbers in his second term.

Again, cherry picking these little examples does nothing to refute "average monthly unemployment rate" for Presidents as an important metric to be looked at.

Bullshit. You don’t have a clue. It matters what the trend is and where we are headed. You’re a clueless math illiterate.

You really don’t know much math do you ? No bubba, the trend and math modeling is a better predictor than an average. You’re still doing 7 th grade math aren’t you ?

The smaller the interval the more accurate the economic trends are. “ average” is in itself insignificant if it can’t be used as an inference as a predictor of future events. The larger the interval and the farther back you include numbers, the less relevant they are. That Obama came in with a high unemployment makes it silly to include it as a measure if his economic success. Once Obamacare and his budget was passed, both the state of the economy in general and for millions gradually improved. The biggest complaint from conservatives was, it didn’t improve fast enough, which is ridiculous. That’s like a home owner who burns his house down then complains because the carpenter didn’t replace it as fast as he burned it down.

Nothing wrong with trends ? Seriously, they are a much better measure of the success of an admin.
They start where the previous admin left them…that seems pretty obvious. They can’t start from ground zero if the previous admin left you with billions in deficits!

GPA is a worthless analogy. GPA's are not inherited. GPA's are affected ONLY by the student themselves. Whereas some presidents, like Clinton, Obama and Biden, were handed shitstorms with high unemployment from their respective predecessor. GPA's don't measure in such shitstorms.

Ha ha
I suppose your average weight of 250 lBS for the year, is more important than your present weight of 300lbs. Tell that to a doctor.

Tell the cop you shouldn’t be picked up for speeding because your average speed for the week was 50, even though you got caught doing a 100 mph.

The OP is dishonestly attempted to conceal performance by a president. Ignoring what a president is handed when they start compared to what they hand off to their successor.

Of course. The do this with deficits and debt all the time.
They don’t want to admit that traditionally repugnants hand a shit hole over to democrats to fix.
