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

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 ?
For some terms or periods of time, there might be no discernible trend at all. The average is an important metric to look at, and that is why this thread was started and continues. Looking at this one metric, does not mean you exclude other factors when looking at any President's time in office. This is factual data that needs to be looked at and analyzed with other information when evaluating how things were when a President was in office.
 
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.
Whether a President really inherited economic problems or benefits from another President is another issue. This thread just looks at the data while the said President was in office. It doesn't specifically decide who is responsible for this or that. It just reports the factual data, which is one metric that is important, among others, when analyzing a President's time in office.
 
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!
If you don't like or value threads about President's average monthly unemployment rate while in office, then you should not feel the need to read or post in them.
 
Bullshit. You don’t have a clue. It matters what the trend is and where we are headed. You’re a clueless math illiterate.
Again, making up shit doesn’t cut it.
The figures in this thread are only FACTS. Nothing more. They come from the U.S. bureau of labor statistics.

You’re confused. Now you’re trying to cya.The monthly average is what comes out. A trend is a comparison of all the values you can model. Once a model is made, of all the monthly values, you can either extrapolate or interpolate other values. It’s what a stock brokers do as they value more than one static value.

What you’re doing is trying to use numbers that are less relevant and math illiterate just to play politics,

Nope. They are values in mathematics. You can model relationships with all the values given.

A doctor Doesn't care care about about the average of pulse rate on a stress test as much as he cares about the relationship of all your rates over time under different stress levels.

It's not another issue since it greatly impacts their average. Ignoring what they inherit, as is your wont, doesn't actually evaporate it.

They are values of no meaning.

It would have been a lot worse, if Obama had not avoided a deep depression when, thankfully, he took over the economy from Dubsies.

Bush
President George W. Bush inherited 4.2 percent unemployment in January 2001. That rate had grown to 7.8 percent when …along with a deep recession.
Baming Obama is like blaming him for the house fire that was set by Bush…
 
The monthly unemployment rate for February 2024 was 3.9%. This is the 38th unemployment report with Biden in office, his 38th month recorded for this list. This brings Biden's average unemployment rate for his term in office to date, down from 4.19% in January 2024 to 4.18% in February 2024.

Obama's only asset is that he is a Black guy. He was a terrible President and by many theories he continues to be a terrible President. We all know Biden isn't calling the shots. MAGA

He read a decent teleprompter.
I knew he was useless when he was just another Chicago race hustler.

President Obama took office in the middle of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, at a time the economy was losing over 700,000 jobs a month and in the midst of what we now know was the worst 6-month period for GDP growth in over 60 years.
 
Who cares? Presidents don't decide who works or who doesn't.

I'm just curious. Why would you average in the first month or 3 months or 6 months of a president's term implying that he had anything to do with that unemployment rate?
But incompetent Biden can sure fuck up an Economy. Now he wants to spend hundreds of Billions to Bail out worthless College Punks.

Caused by Democrat Programs. The Dems had the House AND Senate starting from 2007.
