    The Democrats took 4.5% to 10% and kept it over 9% for the next three years even after the Obama Stimulus, when UE was 7.5%, was supposed to keep it to just 8% for one quarter. And all the while the LFPR was crashing with people just stopping even looking for jobs. So how does that compare to after the Republicans took back the Congress in 2015 and then the WH too in 2017?

    In what way was my post unclear?
    I don't know, but I doubt it given the lack of reportage and what I know about the time it takes to implement changes.

    "statista.com" is Forbes? It doesn't matter where you think it is from. The BEA publishes GDP data and is the official source for it. Anything is is "fake news".

    So you are pleading ignorance and there has been no lack in reporting, try Google.

    Unemployment fell rapidly under Obama post recession, did you forget?

    In fact, average monthly job creation post recession was better under Obama than its been under Trump.

    Yes, I was happy about that.

    1st quarter of 2014.

    Yeah, but it is not nearly enough to make up for what we are losing with China.

    Such great news, but are we surprised? No, because we know the progress he is making and don't listen to lies all day and night by the lying left. This is significant, but they don't want to give it to him. CNN, the Clinton News Network, will still be hopped up on Cohen.

    Which is fine as long as you are comparing quarterly to quarterly or annual to annual. Trump supporters keep trying to compare annual to quarterly.

    No it didn't it shot up to 10% and stayed over 9% for three years and then trickled down as people stopped looking for jobs.

    Well DUH. Would you prefer we go back to 10% unemployment where we desperately need to CREATE jobs rather than now when we have more jobs than workers and we don't need to create new jobs but to get people back to work?

    And what was the GDP number that quarter?

    Oh, how terrible of those lefties to not give donald credit.

    Please show the board your posts when you gave Obama credit for the several quarters when he was president where real GDP growth exceeded 4.1%.

    Because I cannot remember one time you did that.

    Another RW double standard. SSDD.

    Maths are easy:

    3.2 + 2.9 + 2.2 + 4.1 = 12.4

    12.4 รท 4 = 3.1

    Doh!

    I'm not a fan of hockey since it's too hot for it down here, but I remember that ITG's avatar during the hockey post season. LOL.
