NOT MAKING HEADLINES: Current Trump Unemployment Rate Less Than Obama’s Average Rate His Entire First Term

The Trump recovery is the greatest recovery on record.

Job numbers released yesterday through the end of August were massive. There was an increase of more than a million jobs! And the unemployment rate dropped to 8.4%, almost 2 points lower than July’s 10.2%!

You are talking about average rate through the term to date, not the current rate.

@Budwick I call bullshit. Source please

@Burnley123 Nah, it's about right.

The unemployment rate (U-3) began rising from 4.7% in November 2007 and peaked at 10.0% in October 2009 as the crisis deepened, approximately where it remained until November 2010

Of course, this is still a pretty goofy observation to make.

@QuixoticSoul Of course, though Obama had a term running to 2012 and unemployment recovered.

I mean we know all of this is epic point missing.

@Burnley123 It recovered, but I wouldn't be surprised if the average ended up above 8%. Regardless, yeah it is silly.
