I regret to inform you that, yes indeed, positive job growth started under Obama. That is a FACT. Do you not understand that, these days with the internet, we can prove that by linking to the actual, official data?
The growth under Obama was not DUE to his policies, it was in spite of them. As the greatest gains in the stock market are made after a big decline, the economy after the crash should have grown a a much steeper pace. Art Laffer believes the market crashed because of the election of Obama. I don't know if I agree with that but my 11 year old could have done a better job on the economy than Obama did. I voted for him in 2008 and I watched EVERYTHING he did from day 1. I kept waiting for him to do things to spur the economy but all he did was double down on the policies that hamper the economy.

That's how I feel with Trump.
Trump jumped on a moving train -- and he has been riding it all along.
No big job growth surges, no big surge in GDP, no big surge anywhere economically -- except the stock market and not sure that has anything to do with Trump....lots of money out there and folks need to make money.

Oh please, spare us. I could just as easily say the same thing for Trump - after all he's imposed tariffs and a bunch of other things.
The fact that Trump's GDP and job growth have been about the same as the last 4-6 years under Obama in spite of everything Trump has supposedly done to improve the economy, goes to show how little effect his policies have had.
2016/jan 2017 saw job losses under Obama for 2 of the months
number employed sep 2016............151,926,000
number employed oct 2016............151,902,000.......loss of 24000 jobs under Obama, just before election

number employed dec 2016............152,111,000.....63,000 gain
number employed jan 2017............152,081,000..... 30,000 LOSS for the month of jan under Obama's last month
number employed feb 2017............152,528,000.....447,000 GAIN during trumps first month...I am NOT crediting trump
Fine, lets look at it your way
number employed mar 2019 162,960,000........ 162,470,000 -490 000 LOSS for the month of April 2019

And I’ve posted the FACT that of course there was positive job growth under Obama —we were in a financial crisis, a major major recession — it could only go UP from there in spite of Obama’s anti business policies and attitude....
Imagine where we’d be if Trump had taken the reins after the recession!
Try using the internet to get up to speed. There is a whole world of ideas and facts beyond the democrats corrupt media trying so desperately to hide the truth from you Trump haters that this economy is booming due to Trumps economic policies....
