Yeah the Dems tralala'ed to pass two bills that created more job growth than the GOP will ever see.

Under President Biden's administration from early 2021 through mid-2025, the U.S. economy experienced historic job growth and a robust labor market recovery from the pandemic-induced losses. Key points about Biden's job growth include:

Approximately 16.6 million net jobs were added from February 2021 through December 2024, indicating strong monthly job gains sustained over the entire period. This marks the second-longest employment expansion on record, with almost 48 consecutive months of job additions, a unique achievement for any president's full term.

The number of full-time jobs increased by about 8.5% during Biden's term, rising from roughly 125.2 million at the start of 2021 to nearly 135.9 million by January 2025. Full-time employment also surpassed pre-pandemic levels from early 2020.

The unemployment rate dropped significantly from 6.8% when Biden took office to historic lows below 4% for around 27 months, a streak not seen since the 1960s. This drop benefitted marginalized communities, with record-low unemployment for Black workers at 4.8% as of April 2023.

Manufacturing jobs gained momentum under Biden, with more than 775,000 new manufacturing jobs added, a sharp contrast to losses under the previous administration. Policies like the Inflation Reduction Act and infrastructure investments boosted this sector.

Overall, Biden left office with a labor market that was historically strong in terms of jobs and employment rates, supporting real wage and income gains and helping sustain consumer spending and economic resilience amid other challenges.

The Biden administration did more to bring manufacturing back to this country than any in decades.

Your orange god-emperor is doing squat besides soliciting bribes and taxing Americans. He's a greedy, hateful piece of shit. It's what his followers love most about him.

So if Canada recognizes Palestine, there will be no trade deal.

Unless Brazil drops the charges against Bolsonaro, we're going to levy a 50% tariff on Brazil.

What does this have to do with unfair trade, or bringing jobs back to the US?

'No one can be that wrong!' Trump lashes out in meltdown over his poor job numbers

President Donald Trump lashed out after learning that his job numbers were lackluster at best.

Taking to Truth Social on Friday, Trump wrote that the reason his jobs numbers were so poor was that President Joe Biden appointed the commissioner of Labor Statistics, who "faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala's chances of Victory."

Last month, Trump sang the praises of the same numbers from the same appointee.

“Nobody wants to talk about GROWTH, which will be the primary reason that the Big, Beautiful Bill will be one of the most successful pieces of legislation ever passed,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on July 2 after the June jobs report was released. “THIS GROWTH has already begun at levels never seen before. Trillions of Dollars are now being invested into the USA, more than ever before."

But a month later, those same numbers were criticized.

According to Trump, the Bureau of Labor Statistics "overstated the Jobs Growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 Presidential Election, in August and September, by 112,000."

Trump is confusing the numbers. March 2024 showed over 300,000 jobs. What the BLS revealed is that it overestimated job growth by over 800,000 for the year.

"No one can be that wrong? We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified," Trump claimed. "Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can’t be manipulated for political purposes. McEntarfer said there were only 73,000 Jobs added (a shock!) but, more importantly, that a major mistake was made by them, 258,000 Jobs downward, in the prior two months. Similar things happened in the first part of the year, always to the negative."

Trump then claimed that under him, "The Economy is BOOMING," and followed up with an attack on the Federal Reserve, refusing to lower interest rates.
