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

The monthly unemployment rate for March 2020 was 4.4%. This is the 39th unemployment report with Trump in office, his 39th month recorded for this list. This brings Trump's average unemployment rate for his term in office to date, up from 3.95% in February 2019 to 3.96% in March 2020.

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

Gerald Ford: 7.77%

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

01. Donald Trump: 3.96%
02. Lyndon Johnson: 4.19%
03. Harry Truman: 4.26%
04. Dwight Eisenhower: 4.89%
05. Richard Nixon: 5.00%
06. Bill Clinton: 5.20%
07. George W. Bush: 5.27%

12. Ronald Reagan: 7.54%
13. Gerald Ford: 7.77%



There are 9 months left in Trumps first Presidential term, assuming he completes it.

The labor force participation rate is at 62.7% for March 2020, down from 63.4% in February 2020.
How will the unemployment rates over the rest of the year impact Rrumps average?

Well, the rise in the Unemployment in March, from 3.5% in February to 4.4% in March, caused his average to go from 3.95% to 3.96%. We'll have a better picture of things in about a month when we see the unemployment number for April.
 
This whole thread title is stupid and I thin I said it before

A measure of president is what he got it (well 6 mths to 1 yr after gets office ) and what he gave back (well 6 mths to 1 yr after leaves office )... Averages are a joke because the president would get an country in the shit and give it back at a high would have only an average rating...

There are a number of measures:
Deficit - The most important
Education
Health
Unemployment
Labour Participation
Environment
Income Gap
Stock Market
GDP Growth
Crime
Homeless
Drug Addiction

Generally speaking Trump has made this worse in every one of those except Crime which was a tie (it has declining for 25 years and if anything it slowed a bit under Trump but not significantly).

I can hear people say what about tax cut. When you are borrowing money to fund a tax cut you are transferring the money the people paying it back to the people who got it. So the general Taxpayer gave money the the rich.

And if you voted for him because you got Judges, was it really worth it... He has got thousands of Americans needlessly killed over being incompetent. His team are possibly is worse set of individuals running the country in modern history.
Seriously Biden could just appoint a team and play golf 6 days a week and in 4 years the country would be better off than under Trump.

The problem is Trump took a gamble like ignoring the CoronaVirus and putting in a travel ban thinking that would stop it. Biden at the time (and there is plenty of video evidence) was saying this will slow the virus coming but we need to use that time, Trump squandered that time.

I was a call a big one and Trump got it dead wrong and Biden got it right. That doesn't make Biden a genius, he read reports and had experience, but it made him right.

So the Democratic strategy is simple this fall, On the biggest call of Presidency, Trump got it wrong and Biden was right. The result is Americans died.
This shut down is stupid
So how many have you and Trump killed with downplaying the problem? Great job!


Meanwhile this is a really stupid idea for a thread. Nothing is that simple. all we know for sure is that the GOP causes corrupt bubbles and busts every time they get 8 years to do it. Reagan tax rates last 30 years have wrecked the middle class and the country. No sacrifice is too great to save the greedy idiot GOP rich.
Not as many as the flu, cancer, gun victims, car deaths. Hmmmm
That's what I'm talkin about the downplaying of the virus which we had some control over if our president wasn't a total incompetent....


Not a promising trajectory. Note the difference between our trajectory and S Korea's. The first confirmed case of COVID-19 for both countries was on Jan 21. S Korea's population is 1/6th of the US's.

The United States response to covid-19 has been terrible. The results in Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan show that.
 
Are you really serious? trump was handed declining unemployment, record job growth, and full employment. C'mon folks we have to be more detailed here. Unemployment was 4.7 percent when trump took office I mean, can we get real? It fell by a point during his time and that wasn't because of anything he has done.

Obama was handed a dying economy and yet you want to contrast the numbers with trump when for most of this presidency trump has rode on Obamas economic work.

I know most of you guys here want to re elect trump, I don't know what for except for one thing, and that is just sad.
And now Trump will have to deal with the numbers from an economic freeze.

May not be his fault, but it is his economy

Oh I'd say its definitely his fault.

Trumps numbers are headed for double digits, perhaps over 20 percent.

Last months numbers were as of March 14, before most businesses started to shut down. There were still 700,000 job losses. In actuality, the number is over 3 million and rising.

It may take a while for the numbers to recover as many businesses will not come back.

We'll have a better picture in early May when April's Unemployment numbers will be released.
 
Hmmm - after losing 10 million jobs in the last week, Trump may beat 'em all within the next 2-3 months.

If the Unemployment rate averaged 10% for the rest of the year, Trump's average leaving office in January would be 5.09%.
If the Unemployment rate averaged 20% for the rest of the year, Trump's average leaving office in January would be 6.97%.
If the Unemployment rate averaged 30% for the rest of the year, Trump's average leaving office in January would be 8.84%.

obammy did that, did you forget?
Actually Obama did the exact opposite. Bush left him 12 million unemployed and Obama cut that down to 6 million. Tramp has 7+ million unemployed in todays BLS report, not counting the 10 million jobs Tramp lost last week.
Since the jobs lost are mostly in leftist run areas and it's the leftist run government's of those states forcing those businesses to close I would say the job loss is due to leftist
You are STUPID enough to say that!

Looks like over 5 million out of work and climbing
The number will skyrocket

Wait till we see the GDP
 
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?
......at least Mr Trump is trying to undue the decades of the US getting fkd by China/etc..they should have put tariffs in decades ago

Average means nothing...

What you get it at and what you give it back is what matters... Trump inherited a good economy and he has increased borrowing for tax cuts for the rich...
you just don't want to know facts. amazing. wow. you can't be helped. but I will point out forever your failure at seeking out facts.

What do you mean... I accepted the average but pointed out that it is pretty meaning less. Unemployment is what was it when you got (the day you implemented something) and what you gave it back at, not the average while you were getting it there...

Obama got high and going higher and gave it back real low... Obama got it while it was on the way to 10% and he turned on that when his policies started to kick in and gave it back (i.e. when Trump's policies started to kick in) at 4.0% (I could say lower as Trump did effectively nothing for the first 10 months of office on the economy).

Today Unemployment is 3.5%, So Trump has really only improved it by .5% while increasing borrowing to $1 trillion.


Note:
I will just point out that the Germany economy is meant to be going into recession, They have an unemployment rate 3.1%(US: 3.5%) and surplus of 1.2% of GDP (US: 5.5% deficit). As a recession note, the res of the world is preparing for one, it is due. Trumpnomics is trying to keep borrowing to prolong it but that just means US will just crash harder.
Obama’s energy policy caused unemployment. No improvement began until after fracking — which Obama opposed.
He just made it as safe as possible. Fracking went on like crazy under him. It's nice to have natural resources.

Franco... do you believe everything Obama said was true?
Are these statements and actions what a President who loves our country, wants to see our country better off?
I mean for example Obama was all in favor of oil tankers carrying 1 million barrels of oil on the open ocean when a simple dry land pipeline carrying
700 barrels of oil per mile would be safer on the environment.
View attachment 299957

Manufacturing is in a recession right now and trump did not bring back manufacturing jobs. Most of those decisions were made before trump took office.

Obama did not lie over 16,000 times in 8 years much less the 4 we have had under trump., trump does not love America. But what you say about Obama fits right in with the racist narrative. He wasn't America, he hates America. You white racists don't get it because none of your asses have to live as black people. Obama loved this country more than any of you. He put his life out there on the line literally. Because there were all kinds of rumors about Obama getting shot and whites were the ones telling me this. So what kind of man would fabricate his birth to run for office in a country where he might get killed? You fucking white idiots.

"not lie over 16,000 times"

I really hope, and think, that any reasonable person doesn't read past that -
The lies are documented.
They aren’t lies! Hmmmmmm

Average Joe American realizes the jobs lost is not due to the President policies

If your honest and objective, you would realize that any sitting President can be defeated regardless of the situation. Donald Trump's victory in 2016 was a weak one, losing the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes. Donald Trump scraped together an electoral victory through victories by tiny margins in the 3 states of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. So Donald Trump started off his presidency with rather weak support in January 1917. Since that time, his approval rating has averaged 40%, the lowest in history, and he was impeached by the House Of Representatives, and faced a trial for removal form office by the Senate. Now the current circumstances where the United States has become the epicenter for a global pandemic. Over a thousand people dying a day, and the threat that unemployment levels could exceed levels during the Great Depression of the 1930s. For a President starting out with a weak base of support, his chances do not look good for November 2020.
