boy are you full of bullshit ... just under Biden And Harris they creatd 13 million jobs ... then you hear you rightie loons say well those were the jobs that were lost because of covid-19 ... the number of jobs that were lost and the end of the trump administration was 2.5 million jobs were lost... so if you take in consideration of those 2.5 that came back that means 10.5 million jobs were started ... once again i find you rightie loons standing there with your Ah, Ah, Ah, in your mouths yammering about us commie liberals with nothing to say ... ... I've said many times republicans only know how to create debt by cutting taxes o the rich and the country starts losing jobs ...we turn it around by undoing everything the republicans have done ... they cause everything to go up in price then complain about the cost of everything when we try to clean up your messes ...
The number of people with jobs rebounded strongly during Biden’s time, surpassing pre-pandemic levels by almost 4.9 million.
Employment — The U.S. economy added 14,263,000 jobs between Biden’s inauguration and December, the latest month for which data are available from the
Bureau of Labor Statistics. The December figure is 4,861,000 higher than the February 2020 peak of employment before COVID-19 forced massive shutdowns and layoffs.
Some categories are still lagging, however. There were 28,000 fewer public school teachers and other
local government education workers in December than there were at the pre-pandemic peak, and 183,000 fewer hotel and restaurant workers and others in the
accommodation and food services industries.
Unemployment — The
unemployment rate fell from 6.4% at the time Biden took office to 3.4% in January 2023 and again in April, the lowest since June 1969. Since then, the rate has crept up — but only to 3.7% in December, just 0.2 point above the pre-pandemic rate.
Job Openings — The number of
unfilled job openings soared, reaching a record of over 12 million in March 2022, but then declined after the
Federal Reserve began a steep series of
interest rate increases aimed at cooling the economy to bring down price inflation.
The number of unfilled jobs was just under 8.8 million as of the last business day of November, the most recent month on record. That’s still an increase of over 1.6 million openings — or nearly 23% — during Biden’s time.
In November, there was an average 1.4 jobs for every
unemployed job seeker. When Biden took office, there were fewer job openings than unemployed job seekers.
The number of job openings in December is set to be
released Jan. 30.
Labor Force Participation — One reason many job openings go unfilled is that millions of Americans left the workforce during the pandemic and haven’t returned. The
labor force participation rate (the percentage of the total population over age 16 that is either employed or actively seeking work) has risen slowly during Biden’s time, from 61.3% in January 2021 to 62.5% in December.
That still leaves the rate somewhat short of the pre-pandemic level of 63.3% for February 2020.
The rate has been trending generally down for nearly a quarter of a century. It peaked at
67.3% during the first four months of 2000. Labor Department
economists project that the rate will continue to slide down to 60.1% in 2031, “primarily because of an aging population.”
Manufacturing Jobs — During the presidential campaign, Biden
promised he had a plan to create a million new manufacturing jobs — and whether it’s his doing or not, the number is getting close to that target.
As of December, the U.S. added
790,000 manufacturing jobs during Biden’s time, a 6.5% increase in the space of 35 months, according to the BLS. Furthermore, the December total is 201,000, or 1.6%, above the number of manufacturing jobs in February 2020, before the pandemic forced plant closures and layoffs.
During Trump’s four years, the economy lost 170,000 manufacturing jobs, or 1.4%, largely due to the pandemic.
