Job, Jobs, Jobs...Obama better than Dubya, and Daddy Bush

[Jw2]

Still, a historical analysis of job growth percentages shows that Obama still fares better than some recent presidents. As of July, President Obama is averaging +0.84 percent annual job growth in his term.
 
That places President Obama ahead of Bush, who saw +0.51 percent growth in his first term and -0.84 percent in his second term. Obama is also tracking better than George H.W. Bush, who presided over +0.69 percent growth during his one term in the White House.
 
 
However, President Obama's job growth percentages trail far behind those of some other recent presidents, including Bill Clinton (+2.60 percent and +1.60 percent), Ronald Reagan (+1.75 percent and +2.53 percent) and even Jimmy Carter (+2.30 percent).

Naw. With Bush more were employed when he left than when he first took office. With Obama fewer are employed now than when he took office.

GWB's average unemployment rate was 5.3%.
 
Obama's is over 9%.

Obama LOST 400,000 jobs.  Bush created 6 million, johniel.

Nonfarm private payrolls hit a post-recession low of 106.8 million that month, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The figure currently stands at 111.3 million as of July.
While that is indeed a gain of 4.5 million, it's only a net gain of 300,000 over the course of the Obama administration to date. The private jobs figure stood at 111 million in January 2009, the month Obama took office.
