Here are some interesting statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. To be fair, we have to ignore the numbers for 2020.
The GDP, the greatest indicator of a country’s economic vitality, grew 2.4% during President Obama’s second term. It was roughly the same under Trump (2.5%) before the pandemic hit.
Job creation: There were 215,000 new jobs created per month under Obama. Under Trump, 182,000 jobs were created per month through the end of 2019.
Obama, who entered office during the Great Recession of 2008, dropped the unemployment rate from 8% to 4.7% in his second term. And it continued to fall under Trump through December 2019 to 3.5 percent.
Looks like Trump hats in 2016 should have read “Keep America Great” and that the 2020 hats which read ”Make America Great”, based on the current unfortunate unemployment numbers, is correct.
