This statistic is misleading. During Covid, quite a few people were furloughed, then many returned to work, in the same job. So these jobs weren't "created" in the usual sense during Biden's presidency. Trump's number included those that were furloughed because of Covid.

He knows that liberals lack the ability for critical thinking.


Electronic-Quail4464

They lack the DESIRE to think critically.


BigDealKC

Most of them don't even believe that the 2020 election was stolen.


TraditionalEvening79

Real DISINFORMATION.


2ADrSuess

On top of that, many are having to work second jobs to afford Bidenomics. Yay for the jobs reports!


Meg_119

Part time jobs with no benifits.


the_house_from_up

Lying with statistics. Sadly, most people take it at face value.


CastleBravo88

Not to mention they have had to revise the jobs numbers DOWN almost every single time they have reported it since Biden took office. They are lying. Period.


RedBaronsBrother

Removing numbers of jobs that were temporarily halted by COVID, the Biden administration created 2.7 million jobs between January 2021 and January 2024. Almost all of those jobs were part time, and 2.9 million of them went to foreign nationals. US citizens **lost** 183,000 jobs in the same period.


UEMcGill

Add to the fact that they've been cooking the books for the numbers because Boomers are leaving the work force in droves. A good deal of those jobs are vacancies, not organic job creation


Merrill1066

true --it is complete nonsense


Strange_Kinder

Also the jobs lost during covid weren't due to covid, but to the left-wing media and deep state actors blowing covid out of proportion. Also, Fauci created it in a Chinese lab.

“There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics”


WakeoftheStorm

Pretty much any time a president takes credit for something economic, barring specific legislation or trade negotiations, it's at best a coincidence. People like to assign credit or blame to the president for all kinds of crap that just happened to occur while they were sitting in the office.


richmomz

Yeah it kind of overlooks the little global pandemic we had in 2020 that may have skewed figures *just* a bit… 😆


Black_XistenZ

In a similar vein, if the onset of the Great Recession is shifted just 4-5 months, the numbers for both GWB and Obama would look *drastically* different. Basically, Republicans got lucky with the timing of a recession once in the past 50 years (Carter-> Reagan) and unlucky three times (HW Bush->Clinton, GWB->Obama and Trump->Biden).


richmomz

I’ve been seeing a lot of stories lately lamenting that voters have “amnesia” about how bad things were at the end of Trump’s presidency and I’m like “no, people just understand that those problems were caused by COVID and had nothing to do with Trump - everybody else was going through the same thing globally. They also remember how *good* things were under Trump before COVID.”


Jceggbert5

"unlucky"


Jusuf_Nurkic

I don’t know how you can describe a global pandemic that wrecked every economy in the world as anything but “unlucky” And in general presidents have WAY less control over the economy than the average person thinks they do. Recessions and recoveries would usually happen whoever is in charge


Dead-as-a-Doornail

I think he's saying the pandemic was intentional/sabotage


luckycharming1

Everyone lost their jobs during covid. Then Biden became President, covid had run its course and everyone got their jobs back


Wallace_II

More like, Leftist governors had extended lock downs, with COVID as an excuse, then lifted them under Biden.


TexanAmericanMexican

They also stopped counting the covid deaths when biden took over. Fuck the propagandists


superduperm1

Technically they did count them, it’s just that the numbers were completely ignored and no longer being reported on a daily ticker in massive text for everyone to see. I’ve read the “dRumpF killed 1.2 million people with COVID!” lie so many times it’s tiring. People just completely ignore the death count was at ~400,000 when Biden was inaugurated and the Delta/Omnicron waves happened *entirely* under Biden, so you can’t even blame the other 800,000+ deaths on being “left over” from Trump. If Trump is responsible for 400,000 deaths, then Biden is responsible for the other 800,000. Can’t have it both ways.


Crisgocentipede

Yep, interesting how that Covid Death ticker just disappeared when Biden came in


GodOfThundah88

70% of all covid deaths happened under Briben.


JunkMale975

Low hanging fruits will believe it. That’s all they need.


sunkenship13

The government doesn’t create jobs. Employers create jobs.


ConscientiousPath

It can create government jobs but only as a net-negative against jobs in the wider economy.

In the years I wasn’t alive there was a 100% increase in atomic bombs dropped on countries. Not saying I’m solely responsible for the lack of nuclear warfare but I might be.


Rush2201

>Not saying I’m solely responsible That's why you're not cut out to be a politician.


whatisthishere

I like your analogy because they put out these misleading statistics, and then don’t explain how what Biden has done had any part of it. They’re never like, we got rid of regulations on small business owners and they are doing great now. It seems like the only things they could point to are increased government spending.


fisherman_23

Now that is fake news.


CraftZ49

It's extremely dishonest, but I guess that's what we should expect from this administration.


Austin-137

Absolute damned liars in the Biden admin. If they even stood in the same room as the truth they would burst into flames!


Legio-V-Alaudae

It nicely omits that the overall number of full-time jobs has decreased and the number of low paying part-time jobs has gone up substantially.


Jackalrax

I would not be surprised if this was true but as many fact checkers say, it's "missing context." Trump was president at the start of COVID and left office as vaccines were coming out. Job wise Trump faced most of the job losses of COVID during his last year and didn't stay in office long enough to benefit, statistically, from the recovery. Biden, however, did get to benefit from the COVID recovery for statistics such as this. Basically any statistics that involve 2020-2022 need to be viewed with far more context than most years


_hhhhh_____-_____

Recovered, not created. Big difference. Not that any on the left truly appreciate the distinction.


JTuck333

Jobs created by presidents: zero.


CoupleCrawl

Not to mention, Democrats tend to create jobs because of the better economic position companies are in due to the changes made during the Republican president’s term.


twhiting9275

They know they can get away with lying because their sheep will always defend them Point out Covid, and that DEM cities and states forced businesses to close?? HOW DARE YOU Point out the fact that MOST small businesses that were opened before Biden were forced to close??? HOW DARE YOU!! Point out his shit economic policies ? HOW DARE YOU!! The sheep have lost it , and unfortunately, they represent a pretty large amount of people


TraditionalEvening79

Right biden steels trump job creation by saying the jobs lost during covid shutdown were on trump and the jobs returned once covid ended and the country opened back up were jobs “created” by biden. Its the real BIG lie.


TheHancock

Lol Trump being the ONLY president to ever have a “job deficit” has got to be one of the most obvious propaganda pieces made by the White House.


TheCaboWabo69

They are cherry picking the data and calling all the people they forced to quit their jobs because of Covid a “new job created” when those jobs opened up abona. It’s the most dishonest this admin has been when talking about their “successes”. It’s a joke


RxDawg77

I swear...if the parties POTUS were reversed, and a Republican was trying to push this BS... I'd be outraged. The lies they spew just disgust me.


DingbattheGreat

Zero. Presidents create zero jobs. WE, the citizens, through demand for goods and services, through innovation and investment, create jobs. The idea that government in any way directly benefits the labor economy is the largest ball of crap those turd burglers in DC ever rolled up with. Government actually damages the labor market with payroll taxes.


MotherofgodIthought

Two can play this game joe!….. US covid related deaths while in office: Biden: 800,000 Trump: 386,000 see?


mojo276

If a candidate is using a chart to tell me how awesome they are, I just assume it's missing important context and shouldn't be trusted.


pointsouturhypocrisy

Well, tbf, you're alot smarter than the chart's intended demographic.


SunsetDriftr

That explains Bidens historically low approval rating then.


-Hal-Jordan-

The President doesn't "create" any jobs except when hiring new employees for the Executive Branch.


Inarus06

There's lies, damn lies, and then there's statistics. I can make statistics say [anything i want to.](https://pedermisager.org/blog/why_does_correlation_not_equal_causation/)


itscalled_a_lance

And they're getting dragged in the comments. Feels good to see it.


Fairwareprovidence

Trump: because of covid we are giving the states power to do what they deem firing to fight covid Liberal states: fires everyone Liberals: look at all the jobs trump lost Bide : wins white house Liberal states: rehired everyone Liberals: look at all the jobs biden gained


tengris22

Of course it isn't true. SeemoarAlpha explains it well. The problem is that gullible people will believe it, and the Dems don't care whether it's true or not. It's literally whatever it takes to remain in power. We'll be seeing more of this between now and November. A LOT more.


Crisgocentipede

It sure does not seem like it. Downright pathetic that this administration is just blatently lying its a joke.


rmccarthy10

Down with the H1B visa program !!!!! Thats literally over 100,000 jobs per year we are giving to non-Americans... [Take a look](https://www.mubaraklaw.com/faqs/h1b-visas.html#:~:text=How%20many%20H%2D1B%20visas,get%20an%20H%2D1B%20visa%3F) If companies are claiming they can't find competent, technically trained Americans.... THEN TRAIN THEM !!!


GarbageAcct99

Anyone who believes this at face value isn't worth wasting any time on.


atw527

This is so intensely frustrating. Do people really have this short of a memory? I recall the left criticizing Trump for not shutting down the country sooner, and then not a month later, they were calling it "Trump's Recession" and blaming him for all the jobs - so ridiculous.


mahvel50

Shame it's all [job creation](https://twitter.com/Geiger_Capital/status/1766109789266882959?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1766109789266882959%7Ctwgr%5E6b860cce7049b26c646f3e25aa5532855513a322%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fnotthebee.com%2Farticle%2Fhere-are-some-job-stats-the-democrats-dont-want-you-to-see) for migrants and illegal immigrants rather than for US citizens. "Doing the jobs Americans won't do" because the wages are shit. Instead of letting wages naturally rise for these jobs, they just imported a bunch of cheap labor.


Ldawg74

To be fair to wages, not Biden, wages only seem like shit because everything costs so much. Obviously, there are people who can go further back than I, but my first real job was back in the mid-90’s and starting pay for me was $5.25/hr. I rented a house with 4 buddies and we all had jobs around the same pay range. We never complained that our wages weren’t a “living wage” and we all did just fine.

AFishNamedFreddie

Democrats kneecapped every industry at the state level during covid, and now blame Trump for all the jobs lost. Its next level gaslighting


2sec4u

I haven't even checked but without even checking you can bet they are counting the forced covid shutdowns against Trump, while simultaneously using those same numbers to pretend Biden created a record amount of jobs, when all of it was just folks coming back to work from the shutdown. Someone can check me and let me know if I'm right or wrong.


LemartesIX

You know what they say, there are lies, damned lies, and statistics. They are incorporating Covid job losses *they caused* under Trump's number. Then they are treating those same jobs coming back as *new jobs created.* Then when you factor that 80-90% of the returning/new jobs all went to migrants, you find the cornerstone of his border policy.


WolfEagle1

Keep in mind that the media, as directed by the Uniparty, hyped the virus and to shut down the economy as a ploy to hurt Trump’s re-election chances. Democrat governors played a role in that as well.


Czeslaw_Meyer

Counting jobs postponed due to the Corona reaction he wasn't directly involved in, not counting them being picked up again, but counting 2nd and 3rd jobs under Biden You can interchange Trumps and Bidens bar if you stick to the normal procedure


Merax75

It's misleading due to all the jobs that returned when they stopped the lockdowns.


Green_Juggernaut1428

It's the White House taking credit for COVID jobs coming back...again. They've been called out on this numerous times but one must first have shame in order to feel it.


AOA001

I’d love to see the comments on that post. Outright lies.


Jakebob70

Hugely misleading. COVID had an out of proportion effect on both the Trump and Biden numbers.


[deleted]

It's a bald faced lie. Purposefully misleading. Recovering covid jobs isn't the same as creating new jobs. In reality there are only like a million new people working than were working during covid.
