LurkerMom: More bad news for SlowJoe.

Right.

Job growth was slightly slower in Trump's first three years before Covid than it was during the last three years of the Obama administration, when the economy added 2.7 million jobs a year on average. Under Trump, that average was 2.2 million, until the pandemic wiped out all of Trump's gains and made him the first president since Hoover to have a net loss of jobs.

Average monthly jobs gains pre-pandemic under Trump were about 183,000.

Biden's averaging, what, about 425,000 jobs a month?

The unemployment rate has been below 4 percent for nearly two years, a stretch not achieved since the late 1960s.

Any way you measure it, Biden has kicked the Great Job Creator's ass.

Facts are pesky things.
