We had the highest employment rate in history last year because of president Trump. We are still higher than Obama's after this scamdemic the globalists have released.

Simply amazing that all it took was a non career politician becoming president.

Don't worry though, under Biden we're going to regress from positive change to status quo, fuck the American people politics.

From the graph on the link the unemployment is 4.7% in Dec 2016.

It gives the number 6.7% for Nov 2020. That is

6.7/4.7= 1.42 which means it is 40% higher than what it was when Trump took office.

The other interesting thing about that graph is the rate of decline of unemployment under Obama is virtually the same as the rate of unemployment decline under Trump before COVID. So in this aspect, Trump was really just continuing what started under Obama.

Op, dummy, it was 12 percent when Obama took over country. He took it down to 4 percent. What he did was miraculous. Trump took that recovery and trashed it

The graph starts at 2014. This is an arbitrary starting point. and has no significance in the time line. However, the unemployment rate was 6.6% so the OPs claims are kind of consistent with that number. I don't think anyone can be that stupid in reading a graph. I have been wrong in things like that before.

Obama's economy was like a pandemic without the actual pandemic.
