Biden has not laid out intelligently how he is going to better on jobs. If you take his word that increased regulation ( greendeal ) and higher taxes are going to yield jobs, then you don’t understand economics.
Trump’s record on jobs is no better than Obama’s prior to COVID.
All Biden has to do is manage crises like COVID better and he’s beaten Trump easily.
That’s a tall order you are expecting from Old Joe given that his first response to COVID was to lambast Trump for closing the borders. He doesn’t lead on COVID. He Monday morning quarterbacks Trump based on hindsight. What’s Biden’s vision? Make everyone keep their masks on indefinitely and keep cities in lockdown? And you think that’s going to yield jobs???
First off, Trump's record on jobs is not better than Obama's Not even close. Obama's record of creating an average of 200,000 or more jobs every month for more than 6 years is unmatched. That ended in 2017, when job creation dropped to 183,000 per month for the year.
The U.S. economy added just 130,000 jobs in August, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Given the sizable downward revisions of half a million jobs from March 2018 to March 2019, today’s modest employment number brings average monthly job growth this year so far down to 143,000...

Turns out hiring wasn’t quite as strong in 2018 and early 2019 as the government initially reported — by about a half-million jobs. The U.S. economy had...

Given that Trump's travel restrictions not only failed to contain the virus, but by encouraging Americans living or working in China to come home without being able to test them when they got there, Trump's travel restrictions BROUGHT the virus into the USA and spread it across the nation.
The first cases of community transmission occured when Trump brought the sick passengers from the cruise liner home from Japan in the same plane as those who weren't sick, and then had them met at the airpot by DHS workers with no PPE, or safety protocols, or tests, to process their paperwork. The CDC was so outraged by Trump's plans that they refused to sign off on this clusterfuck but Captain Covid insisted on doing it his way. The DHS workers went home and spread it to their families, and the outbreak in California was off and running.
Biden worked in the White House during the H1N1 pandemic and the Ebola outbreak where American loss of life was LOWER than expected, and in line with the world population. So he knows how to manage a pandemic effectively.
Biden was also the guy that Obama charged with the job or restarting the economy after W's crash in 2008, and less than 6 months after Obama took office, the recession was over. It took a longer time to recover the millions of jobs lost in the previous 18 months, but the USA went from shedding 800,000 the month Obama was inaugurated to creating and recovering jobs by July of that year, and Joe Biden is the guy who did that.
In fact, Joe Biden may be the only man in the world, other than Barrack Obama, who is both qualified and experienced with dealing with a pandemic in the midst of an economic collapse. Real hands on experience.
