Random Job Creation? Hardly! For a Century Democrats Average 3.49% Yearly Job Creation, Republicans Averaged 0.95% Job Creation
21ST CENTURY TRUTH:
Republicans Stifle Job Growth,
Then Democrats Regrow Lost Jobs and Add Many More
It would be great if all the Republican rhetoric about helping job growth was true, but Republican Administrations have lost over 3/4s of a Million Jobs in their 12 years of governance in the 21st Century.
REPUBLICANS ARE NET NEGATIVE ON JOBS FOR THIS MILLENIUM!!!
Since 2000, Republican Administrations have overseen the loss of over 788,000 jobs. George Bush only gained 2,130,000 during his Administration—(and then, of course, dumped a 5,051,000 job loss on Obama during his first year in office), Trump ended up losing 9.292,000 jobs in his last year in office, and netted a loss of 2,292,000 jobs over his four years in office.
Democrats? Well, in their 10.83 years of rule:
SINCE 2000, DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTS HAVE GROWN OVER 23.3 MILLION JOBS!
Joe Biden has overseen the growth of over 10.8 Million Jobs since the Beginning of 2021—the best total two-year job growth in US history. Obama, even after having to deal with the Bush Crash, and losing over 5 Million Jobs in his first year, did a remarkable job of turning the US job market around and ended up netting an increase of over 10.57 Million Jobs during his term in office. To top off 21st Century job growth, Bill Clinton saw over 1.9 Million new jobs created in his last year in office. Combined, the three Democratic Presidents wo were in office since the turn of the Millenium, produced over 23.3 Million jobs.
Here is the information on 21st Century job creation--In admittedly, very bad, Google-translated Spanish):
Siglo 21 creación de empleo. Demócratas más 23,3 milliones de empleos en 10,83 años. Trump/Bush perdió 778 mil de empleos en 12 años
A Century of Democratic Job Creation/Republican Job Destruction:
Here, in a single chart is the net Job Growth over all Democratic Administrations and all Republican Administrations:
In 49.83 years of Democratic rule, Democrats grew 95,068,000 jobs.
Republicans, in 52 years of occupying the White House only produce 33,240,000 jobs—a stunning job production differential of 61,868,000 more jobs produced under Democrats!
Shown below is an expanded version of Job Growth by Administration over the past 101 Years—since the beginning of the Harding Administration. Note that the best average Job Growth (under Richard Nixon—2.02% per year) would place sixth behind the Average Percentage Job Growth created under five different Democratic Administrations. The best?
The combined Roosevelt/Truman Administrations averaged 4.76% Job Growth over a twenty year period!
Biden’s average job growth of 4.14% ranks second.
Kennedy/Johnson produced 3.65% average job growth.
Jimmy Carter produced 3.26%, and
Bill Clinton averaged 2.65%.
Overall, Democratic Administrations averaged 3.49% Average Annual Job Growth
Republican Administrations averaged just 0.95% per year.
Again, even for over 100 years with a 300% advantage for Democratic job creation, some will claim it is all random. Obviously, it is not, but, if even it were random, would you want to place your bets for job success on the Democratic team that wins three out of four games or the Republican one that loses three out of every four?
It’s also hard to compare Job creation in the 1920s and 1930s, since we now have about 6 times as many jobs as we had in 1930, so the percentage of Yearly Job Creation per Administration is probably a better comparison…and in the chart a the beginning of this story you can see that Democratic Administrations do far, far better on average for yearly job creation than Republican ones.
In fact, over the past Century, since 1921, Democratic Administrations have averaged 3.49% per year job creation, while Republican Administrations have average only 0.95% Annual Job Growth. Here’s a comparative chart of every Republican and Democratic period in office:
6. Some on the right say, “But Trump lost all those jobs because of a pandemic!” Some Trump supporters always respond to claims that Democrats are better at creating jobs by pointing to Trump’s positive pre-Covid job creation numbers in his first three years in office (from 2017-2019)—which they fail to acknowledge are actually significantly lower than Obama’s last three years of job creation (from 2014-2016):
In Trump’s first three years, the economy produced over 1,600,000 FEWER jobs than in Obama’s last three years, AND Obama’s job successes also royally set the table for Trump’s continued but ever-reducing success--that ended so disastrously in the covid- and mismanagement-driven debacle of his 2020 job numbers.
Also, the GOP’s disastrous 21st Century job numbers don’t end with Trump: Remember that Bush’s fiscal mismanagement started a massive economic crash that lost almost 8 Million Jobs from May of 2008 until February of 2010 when Obama finally got thing turned around. This also means that the front end of Obama’s term shows about 5,000,000 Million lost jobs that were simply the consequence of the Bush disaster--that it took Obama about 14 months to turn around. However, once Obama turned the situation around, jobs grew every single month from March 2010 onward, through the end of the Obama Administration, (and during the Trump Administration at a declining rate), through February of 2020.
(Trump also lost jobs because he did a horrible job of managing Covid response), but, even conceding that say, 5 Million of Trump’s 9.3 Million lost 2020 jobs were due to the pandemic—the same’s true of the 5.05 million jobs Obama lost in 2009--since the 2008 crash was absolutely Bush’s and the Republicans’ fault.)
5. Just random luck? Nope! Democrats almost always create more jobs. In fact, since 1921, Democratic Administrations have helped grown almost 300% more jobs than the GOP….and that includes Reagan’s good numbers. How big a difference?
Hmm, Republicans have overseen the growth of 33.2 Million jobs. Not bad, and that nets out to 639 thousand jobs created per year.
Democrats? Well, in fewer years in office (49.83 versus 52), Democrats created 95.1 Million Jobs, ie., about 1.9 million jobs a year. That’s about 1.26 more jobs per year (and over 100,000 more jobs per month), for over a century, beyond what Republicans created!
AND, if you are looking for an election day handout, the Republican versus Democratic Century-long Job results are already in standard business card format and can be printed in batches of 10,000 for about .01 per, two-sided, four-color business card for a penny a card.
MORE EVIDENCE OF REPUBLICAN JOB INCOMPETENCE AND DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS!
6. The entire economy, on the average, “Grows Startlingly Better Under Democrats”—Newsweek. And how can we possibly overstate that Republicans “…are so Bad for the Economy”—New York Times?
7. Herbert Hoover lost 6.2 Million Jobs (~25% of all US Jobs) during four years in office.

8. Franklin Roosevelt added 13.2 Million American Jobs in ten years—(an about 67% increase): Between 1933 and 1942 American Jobs grew from about 25.7 Million Jobs to 42.9 Million Jobs.
9. Between Jan. 1933 and Jan. 1953 Truman and Roosevelt almost doubled American Jobs—from 25.7 Million Jobs to 50.2 Million Jobs.
10. It’s the economy, stupid—and inflation or not, it’s jobs that grow the good economy and lift the working/middle classes….and it is perpetually Democrats who actually produce good jobs, rather than the Republicans, who just talk about it, while actually failing miserably to bring more good jobs to workers--because their contributors have no interest in low unemployment, since that raises wages, costs money and potentially reduces profits...oh, and most importantly, may reduce political donations for Republican candidates.
Democrats Grow Jobs, Republicans Grow Oligarchs.
