Under President Biden, the economy has added an average of 636,000 jobs per month, the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics "all employees" report CES0000000001 shows. That's close to 4.5 million jobs added since Biden became president on Jan. 20.
On Donald Trump's watch – before the pandemic – the economy added only 188,000 jobs per month. President Obama did better than that once the collapsing economy he inherited turned around in early 2010, adding more than 200,000 jobs per month on average.
Candidate Trump repeatedly said he would produce 6% annual economic growth. He only got above 4% for one quarter. Even that was only because businesses stepped up purchases ahead of his disastrous tariffs.
After three years in office, economic growth under Trump was worse than every other president after Harry Truman except for George H.W. Bush.
Under Biden, the economy grew at a 6.5% annual rate from April through June, the second quarter of this year. the Congressional Budget Office estimates that "real GDP will grow by 7.4 percent in calendar year 2021."
