{{ Former President Bill Clinton highlighted the jobs created in the US “since the end of the Cold War in 1989,” noting that of the 51 million jobs added, 50 million of those were created during Democratic administrations.



“Since the end of the Cold War in 1989, America has created about 51 million new jobs. I swear, I checked this three times; even I couldn’t believe it. What’s the score? Democrats 50, Republicans 1,” he said during his remarks at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday.



Facts First: Clinton’s claim is true, although aspects such as timing, rounding, and large-scale national crises influence the math.

Al Franken told a joke some years ago about the job creation during both Bush Administrations. It went something like this.

"Al Franken: "I was a math major in college, so I'm always interested in looking at the data. And when I projected the two Bush Administration job creation records all the way back to the founding of the Republic, it showed that if a Bush had been President during that whole period of time, no American would have worked {comedic pause} ever."
