How do you create more jobs when everyone who wants one already has one, and we aren't flooding the nation with immigrants? The fact that job growth is what it is today is quite impressive. What is likely happening is people are leaving low paying Obama era fast food jobs for better paying Trump era jobs.
As oppose to you posting the radical biased Leftist MSN link? Yeah, that was a lot of hard work research on your part.
Why don't you find some right wing web site to dispute the numbers instead of dismissing the numbers out of hand?
Is it too much hard work for you to do?

During Trump's first 36 months in office, the US economy has gained 6.6 million jobs. But during a comparable 36-month period at the end of Obama's tenure, employers added 8.1 million jobs, or 23% more than what has been added since Trump took office.
The average monthly gain so far under Trump is 182,000 jobs. During the last 36 months under Obama, employers were adding an average of 224,000 jobs a month.
On Friday, the Labor Department reported that employers added a fairly robust 225,000 jobs in January. But it also made some revisions to past data, which lowered many previous job growth estimates. While some of the revisions go all the way back to the last century, most of the changes to data took place during 2018 and 2019. So the revisions reduced the gains during Obama's final three years by 47,000 jobs, but it reduced the gains during Trump's tenure by a total of 354,000 jobs.

Those are the numbers you need to contest. If you can't find anything then just go ahead and say that Obama "cooked the books" back then.
Only its not. More fake news from the fake news king. Make americans gullible again.

Research means using hard data.
Since population controls are applied in January, the CPS is not useful, but the CES is.
From January 2009 (109,553,000 employed) to December 2016 (123,614,000) might appear to be a lot of jobs created, but it really isn't. It's just people who lost their jobs getting their jobs back.
From January 2017 (121,206,000) through January 2020 (127,557,000) is good job growth.
It's much easier to "create" jobs in an economy where workers are laid off and being recalled than in an economy where new jobs really do have to be created.
I would remind you this is the 128th month of an unprecedented historic 128 months of economic expansion.
The previous record was 120 months for comparison.
You should be grateful that the UE Rate is at historic lows, the rate of Monetary Inflation is virtually non-existent, and the economy is continuing its expansion, instead of whining about it.
