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

I still don't get the nonsense connecting Presidents to economic performance. They shouldn't get credit for it when it's good, nor should they be blamed when it isn't. Government control of the economy is a socialist thing. It's the last thing we should ask for from a President.
Of course in the long run there is a definite connection. The last 35 years have been a huge GOP giveaway to the rich which has given us the worst inequality and upward mobility ever and anywhere. A real screw job for you and your family and friends, ding bat dupe

It's true, the Dems are useless twats.
 
The monthly unemployment rate for December 2021 was 3.9%. This is the 12th unemployment report with Biden in office, his 12th month recorded for this list. This brings Biden's average unemployment rate for his term in office to date, down from 5.50% in November 2021 to 5.36% in December 2021.

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. Lyndon Johnson: 4.19%
02. Harry Truman: 4.26%
03. Dwight Eisenhower: 4.89%
04. Richard Nixon: 5.00%
05. Donald Trump: 5.01%
06. Bill Clinton: 5.20%
07. George W. Bush: 5.27%
08. Joe Biden: 5.36%
09. John Kennedy: 5.98%
10. George H.W. Bush: 6.30%
11. Jimmy Carter: 6.54%
12. Barack Obama: 7.45%
13. Ronald Reagan: 7.54%
14. Gerald Ford: 7.77%

The labor force Participation rate was 61.9% for December 2021, the same as November 2021.
So at least 0.14% of unemployment recipients were no longer eligible and dropped from the roles or voluntarily retired or died due to covid. Sounds reasonable.
 
As I demonstrated, your stat is meaningless. It hides performance and can make the worst jobs president look good and vica-versa.
And I responded explaining how the statistic is not meaningless as well as the fact that your cherry picked version of U.S. Presidency's hides vast amounts of information. I did not cherry pick anything here. I simply took the every monthly unemployment rate for each President and found the average for each president. There is no bias at all, or picking or excluding bits of information. Each President is treated the same. Its raw numbers from the bureau of labor statistics and a little math. Its raw facts, and all the whining in the world won't change it.

This is not true because the Federal Government has a large impact on the nation's economy. That does not mean the Federal Government will necessarily be the cause of good or bad economic performance, but it does have an impact and it needs to be evaluated.

It has far, far too much of an impact. It's problem, not something encouraged and/or celebrated. Government shouldn't make decisions based on how it will effect the performance of the economy.

Which has no meaning. Case in point, Reagan did a great job when it came to growing jobs. Bush43 has the second worst record since WWII. Your moronic metric makes it look like Bush did better than Reagan.

:cuckoo:

Re Reagan had success when he lowered the top rate from 70 to 50 but going out the door he took it to 28 and gave us the worst inequality and upward mobility ever, not to mention the worst propaganda machine a total disgrace.

Both as usual running the usual GOP corrupt bubble and bust deregulation scam and had a recession or depression after eight years. Great job! S&l crisis Ring a Bell? The world's real estate depression of 2008? You and your party are a disgrace and catastrophe.
 
It's just a question of how long it takes for you idiots to figure out the actual situation lol and vote your own interests, not the interests of the greedy idiot mega rich...

You're voting your own interests, by voting for Dems....but they're useless twats.

How's that working out for you?

Because Dems never contribute to any bubbles and busts, eh?

Whatever your interpretation is, it does not change the fact that these are the official numbers from the Bureau Of Labor Statistics, for average monthly unemployment during each Presidents time in office. I'm sorry you don't like the numbers, but they are never going to change except for Biden and future Presidents.

The problem with what you've written is that statistics don't tell the whole story, they don't even get close.

For example Obama came in on day one and had high unemployment rate, Trump came in and had low unemployment rate. Are you suggesting Trump was better than Obama because the simple statistic of the unemployment rate on day one was better for Trump than Obama?

Another, non-cherry picked statistics is that for post WW2 presidents, all Democratic presidents, except one, have had LOWER unemployment when they left office than when they started. Carter had the same level. All Republican presidents, except one, have had HIGHER unemployment when they left office than when they started. Reagan had lower unemployment.

This is far more suggestive or what was going in the presidencies, because things had to happen for their rate to be lower.

Obama's unemployment rise started in April 2008 with a rising trend starting a year before that. How's that a reflection of Obama? It isn't. Obama got in, and within 10 months unemployment went up to 10%. No president can change an economy quickly, especially one which has crashed.

So, yes, Obama has high unemployment rates for the first five or six years of his presidency, but any other president would have had the same had they won that election.

You need to understand the context, statistics can provide some information, but NEVER show the whole picture.

They never do that.
