Trump has just built on what Obama started.

So if Obama created more jobs, why was workforce participation lower and unemployment higher under Obama? Could it be the jobs were not of the same quality? Or perhaps the job losses were lower under Trump. The equation is imbalanced in this article and is not addressed.

If it is true that Obama created more jobs.............why has unemployment fallen further? Why has labor force participation started an upward trend? Explain please. Those of us that have an understanding of Economics would like to know how the equation was balanced out.

I have a sneaking suspicion the Obama figures include a lot of low paying government jobs and the Trump figures are private sector jobs BUT I must confess I did not look at this claim in depth. Only notice that you cannot claim one item without addressing the other.

the nubers sh I what Obama g created more jobs. Trump just continental the trend of the last few years at a slightly slower rate. Were the fact Fox gave too complicated or are you just ignoring them?

“Trumpian cult” is the worst kind of hyperbole and mischaracterization.

The last 18 months of 8 years versus the first 18 months is not an equivalent comparison.

Though a decent economy at transition, nowhere near the level it is now.

The last 19 monthan of Obama vs the first 18 Months of Trump . Has the koolaide interfered with your ablity to read? Gothic in everything but the stock market slowed down from real wages to employment gains.

No coolaide here brother; I’m a conservative with predominantly libertarian vie s. Lots of what Trumpndies and is planning economicly I don’t like. The numbers don’t match what to just said; I will try to get some later. the economy did not slow, GDP growth is crazy high. It is only the job creation number s that are not more. My statement was that Obama’s first 18 months should e compared to Trumps first 18.
