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

[francoHFW]

Who's hating on Trump over jobs numbers? They're still pretty good; even though there's about 102 million people out of work and the unemployment rate is about 40.5%.

'Who's hating on Trump over jobs numbers?' Seriously?! You must be a noob here. Hating is all Democrats are doing these days.

Only in hater dupe world...I would love Trump to have success and start acting like that brilliant businessman instead of an Infowars chump...

Liar.

And then the hater dupes say all the hate comes from Dems...hilarious, hater dupes. I don't call RWers and GOPers liars. That would be their greedy idiot billionaire brainwashers...YOU have got all the fake news, bs/hate propaganda/character assassination, and thus hater dupes on your side. See sig for what you don't know, and bs you do.

So our entire US Justice system is a giant conspiracy to protect Dem politicians, and Fox News (only in the US) is a lone voice of truth in the entire world? I think the Justice system is very eager to find criminals- and all the Fox etc charges have been investigated and nothing has been found, but Fox etc never retracts anything...

The 8.86% figure is from an earlier point in his Presidency. This list gets updated in this thread sometimes every month. The current list is here:



Average Unemployment Rates for US Presidents since after World War II:

02. Harry Truman: 4.26%

10. Jimmy Carter: 6.54%
11. Barack Obama: 7.45%
12. Ronald Reagan: 7.54%
13. Gerald Ford: 7.77%

It is based on the MONTHLY unemployment rate.

I see you corrected the previous rate you posted, but you must realize the average is actually meaningless, unless you also post the change in unemployment rate.

For example, someone who inherits 4% unemployment, and leaves with 8% unemployment can have an average unemployment rate of 6%

Somebody else inherits 8% unemployment, and leaves with 4%, also can have an average unemployment rate of 6%.

But one doubled unemployment, while the other cut unemployment in half. But the average doesn't tell you that.

1. A President may leave with 8% unemployement, but that rise in unemployment may have only been seen in the last months in office and is not reflective of 90% of their time in office.

2. Also, as always with economics, the fault for a rise or fall in unemployment is not always clear. It could be do to Presidential policy, or something beyond the governments control, or a combination of both.

3. The only fair way to totally compare Presidential Administrations time in office to other Presidents is to look at ALL the data for every month during the time involved and average it. That is the only accurate and objective way to make a comparison.

4. Otherwise, you spend your time cherry picking which months and time periods of various Presidency's to compare.

5. All that is involved here is the data from the Bureau of labor statistics for each President and the average for that data.

6. Typically, you will see a unemployment levels during a Presidency rise and fall multiple times. Given that, it is a mistake to simply cherry pick a few months from the start of one Presidency or the end of another, and attempt to frame that President based on such limited data. Any look at any Presidency should not be based on only 6 months of data but on the full 96 months that a President is in office.

President Obama Has Cut the Unemployment Rate More Than Any President since FDR

President Obama Has Cut the Unemployment Rate More Than Any President since FDR

The largest drop in unemployment of any president since FDR. You would not know it from the headlines, but President Obama has overseen the largest drop in the unemployment rate of any of these recent presidents, and, in fact, since FDR. In actuality, he has cut the unemployment rate to a lower level than any other recent president upon leaving office—except for President Clinton.

Many would say that is because of the decline in labor force participation rate. Right along the statistic you site, is the fact that the largest decline in labor force participation rate in history occurred while Obama was President. Its much easier to get a lower unemployment rate when people are dropping out of the labor force.

[ThunderKiss1965]

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?

I'm taking note of your post. I'm sure your tune will change the moment the unemployment rate moves up a fraction.

Complete and utter bullshit. In terms of employment, Bush is considered among the worst of presidents. He's the only president to leave office with fewer people working in the private sector since Herbert Hoover achieved that back in the early 30's. If not for government jobs, total job growth would have been negative as well. As it is, while most recent presidents' additions are counted in the millions on an annual average, Bush added an annual average of just 168,375 jobs.

Weakest president when it came to jobs in 80 years.

The guy just proved he's a complete and utter idiot. He actually said it was easier for people to get a job while Bush was president than while Reagan was president.

Reagan added 16 million jobs while he was president. Bush added 1 million. And the population was smaller when Reagan was president. The numbers themselves show how much easier it was to find a job while Reagan was president.

The end of Carter and start of Reagan the HIGHEST in history at 19.72!
So Reagan had a lot to overcome. Inflation and unemployment both historical highs at

I agree that Obama had some economic issues to over come.
But he didn't help! You can't have a President who offers these statements and expect robust economic growth. The economy overcame IN SPITE of really anti-growth comments like these:
- Obama wanted to bankrupt 1,400 companies, that pay $100 billion a year in taxes and unemployed 450,000 people that work for these companies! (Obama told us he favored a "single payer health system"... so what happens to the above?)
- " if somebody wants to build a coal plant, they can – it’s just that it will bankrupt them.”
(Pretty easy way of increasing unemployment.)
- "I prefer higher gas prices". (And Obama proved it by signing 40% fewer Federal oil lease exploration then Bush).
- Obama "Brazil to develop oil and that the USA will be their best customer"!
- "Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket." (That certainly puts a dent in the pocketbook...

It truly is a wonder that with this anti-business statements the economy grew in spite of
Obama's economic ignorances and WISHES!

- Obama "Brazil to develop oil and that the USA will be their best customer"!
- "Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket." (That certainly puts a dent in the pocketbook...

It truly is a wonder that with this anti-business statements the economy grew in spite of
Obama's economic ignorances and WISHES!

LOL

Liar. In fact, we had a streak of 76 consecutive months of job growth under Obama. Unprecedented.

How am I a LIAR? The economy GREW anemically IN SPITE of stupid economically ignorant comments from Obama!
That was my point! REGARDLESS of how ignorant and hindering Obama was (this dummy ADDED ADDED...!)
Obama's Legacy: 2016 Ends With A Record-Shattering Regulatory Rulebook
And in spite of this mountainous monstrous growth of rules and regulations businesses struggled!
Now with Trump (being the experienced businessman have DEALT with this growth restraining efforts) came in and has started to relieve the burden on businesses!

Every year economist Clyde Wade Crews of the Competitive Enterprise Institute releases a report, entitled “The Ten Thousand Commandments” analyzing federal regulations and their costs. Crews’ analysis found that in 2010 the federal government spent around $55.4 billion dollars funding federal agencies, and enforcing existing regulation. But these costs barely compare to the compliance costs that regulation imposes on the economy. Crews’ report cites the work of economists Nicole V. Crain and W. Mark Crain, whose study of the net cost of regulations determined that in 2009 federal regulation cost businesses and
consumers $1.75 trillion, or nearly 12% of America’s 2009 GDP! The Hidden Cost of Regulation | FreedomWorks

Thanks for proving Republicans were to blame.

And who was the leader of the Republican Party...?

But as far as "Dems had no power"??? You got to be kidding!
With people like you NEVER ever working with the GOP it would have taken major cooperation with these and the below FACTS...
Party divisions of United States Congresses - Wikipedia

Much if not all of that could have been prevented by a bill cosponsored by John McCain and supported by all the Republicans and
opposed by all the Democrats in the Senate Banking Committee in 2005.
That bill, which the Democrats stopped from passing, would have prohibited the GSEs from speculating on the mortgage-based securities they packaged.

A perfect example of how the Right lies with half-truths!
In 2005 the GOP controlled ALL committees, that means they had the MAJORITY of seats and the chairmanships of ALL committees, which means the GOP could move any bill out of committee even if no Democrat voted for it, therefore any bill that dies in committee has to have Republican votes!!!!!!

Meanwhile, Trump Winning!
U.S. economy gains a strong 222,000 jobs in June

Only if you like the fact that 35 times more government jobs were added in June than manufacturing jobs.
Big Government CON$ervoFascists love Don THE Con!!!

Aw, you mad? I think so.

No, just better informed than you!

According to the June 2017 BLS report there were 35,000 new government jobs and 1,000 new manufacturing jobs. You do the math!

It is based on the MONTHLY unemployment rate.

It is based on your complete stupidity!

Wow, what a polite thing to say to another person.

Truth isn't always polite, and like Don THE Con, I'm not PC.

Well remember who hired the guy who said this:
From the architect of Obamacare and the man who admitted it took "stupidity" to pass Obamacare!

Yeah, I remember, it was Bishop Willard Romney.
