Due to their blatant anti-worker policies, Democrats are very, very bad at creating jobs. After all, the party’s entire modus operandi is to make people dependent on the government.
If a person has a job and can take care of themselves, those aren’t the type of Americans the Democrat Party cares for.
Here is the December jobs report, via Fox News:
The Labor Department said in its monthly payroll report released Friday that payrolls in December rose by 199,000, sharply missing the 400,000 jobs forecast by Refinitiv economists. The unemployment rate, which is calculated based on a separate survey, dropped to 3.9% from 4.2% — the lowest level since the pandemic began.
The labor market had been gaining momentum after a delta-induced slowdown over the summer, but the latest figure represents the second consecutive month of worse-than-expected growth, following upwardly revised gains of 249,000 in November and 648,000 in October. The last time job growth was this slow was in December 2020, when employers cut 306,000 positions.
Here’s how the Biden White House is trying to spin the situation, via The Daily Wire:
Twitter users excoriated the Biden administration after the White House posted a graph claiming that more jobs were created under President Joe Biden than any other president in history.

REACTIONS:
A huge problem with this apples-and-oranges chart: It compares monthly job growth of 4- and 8-year terms with just one year of Biden. Trump used to do the same thing – until his record was spoiled by the job losses in his last year. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.

The #BidenAdministration believes Americans are this stupid.
The RED wave is inevitable.

LOL 😂. Covid shut down companies and workers were laid off. So this is a graph of those people simply… “Coming back to work”…

I can’t believe the White House tweeted this. This is just another example of their gaslighting.

I like to imagine the annoyed WH economist tasked with creating this chart, knowing just how silly it is. Pretty funny tbh

Democrats like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris don’t want to see American citizens working. They want to see American citizens relying on the government for absolutely everything, like always.
Cradle to grave, y’all. Cradle to grave.
Likewise, the August 2020 job numbers were bad news – just as everybody thought would be the case, month after month, with a socialist at the helm of the world’s most powerful nation.
From CNBC:
Job creation for August was a huge disappointment, with the economy adding just 235,000 positions, the Labor Department reported Friday.
Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for 720,000 new hires.
The unemployment rate dropped to 5.2% from 5.4%, in line with estimates.
CONTINUED:
August’s total — the worst since January — comes with heightened fears of the pandemic and the impact that rising Covid cases could have on what has been a mostly robust recovery. The weak report could cloud policy for the Federal Reserve, which is weighing whether to pull back on some of the massive stimulus it has been adding since the outbreak in early 2020.
“The labor market recovery hit the brakes this month with a dramatic showdown in all industries,” said Daniel Zhao, senior economist at jobs site Glassdoor. “Ultimately, the Delta variant wave is a harsh reminder that the pandemic is still in the driver’s seat, and it controls our economic future.”
