It took FDR, the most accomplished president in history 8 years to reduce unemployment mikekohr Jul 2012 #22

Actually, I don't believe the OP's numbers. The curves I've seen project 2016 to 2020 for recovery FarCenter Jul 2012 #25

4,400,000 private sector jobs divided by 28 months is 157,142.85 mikekohr Jul 2012 #31

The math's right; the data is questionable FarCenter Jul 2012 #32

Excellent Point About Carter Outperforming Reagan and BOTH Bushes combined on monthly job creation mikekohr Jul 2012 #37

I still think the various presidents' job creation records needs to be scaled by population size or progree Jul 2012 #41

Compare Truman's record to Eisenhower's. Eisenhower's sucks. Compare Eisenhowers to Kennedy's mikekohr Jul 2012 #42

Well why don't you be fair and scale the job creation records according to size of labor force? progree Jul 2012 #43

Are you hiding that Reagan's first term was better than Obama's last 28 months, when scaled? progree Jul 2012 #46
