Hey, thanks for posting that link. Just yesterday, Conservative was denying that a net gain of 23 million jobs were created while Clinton was president, even after I showed him the actual data from BLS.gov; and here, the Wall Street Journal says I'm right and he was wrong * ...
President ............................... Jobs created
Bill Clinton ............................... 23.1 million
Ronald Reagan ......................... 16.0 million
Lyndon Johnson ........................ 11.9 million
Jimmy Carter ........................... 10.5 million
Richard Nixon ............................ 9.4 million
Harry Truman ............................. 8.4 million
John F. Kennedy ......................... 3.6 million
Dwight Eisenhower ...................... 3.5 million
George W. Bush ......................... 3.0 million
George H.W. Bush ...................... 2.5 million
Gerald Ford ................................ 1.8 million
* = ordered by jobs created
Here's that list *, when time in office is factored in:
President ....... Jobs created per year in office
Bill Clinton ................................. 2,900,000
Jimmy Carter ............................. 2,600,000
Lyndon Johnson .......................... 2,300,000
Ronald Reagan ........................... 2,000,000
Richard Nixon ............................. 1,700,000
John F. Kennedy ......................... 1,200,000
Harry Truman ............................. 1,100,000
Dwight Eisenhower ........................ 438,000
George W. Bush ............................ 375,000
George H.W. Bush ......................... 625,000
Gerald Ford .................................. 745,000
* = population not factored in
That is typical liberal bull**** and not supported by BLS except by your selected charts, not the total employment charts, great spin but a typical lie. Wonder how many jobs Obama has created a year?
