Obama's Record On Job Creation Is 157,143 Per Month Since 4/2010, - better than any Republican-

36. How about number of jobs produced per capita, or percentage job increase?

Do you have anything scaled by population size or labor force size? For example at the beginning of the Truman administration there were 41.8 million jobs. At the beginning of the Obama administration, there were 135.5 million jobs -- or 3.2 times the size as the Truman administration. It gives the later presidents a huge advantage over the earlier presidents when comparing presidents by the thousands of jobs created in their terms. Another way to put it -- what was the percent increase in jobs under each president? As for population, it was 152.3 million in 1950, vs. about 308.7 million in 2010, a doubling (http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0004986.html). Thanks.

Here's something that has the number of jobs in millions at the beginning of each president's term, as well as the jobs created during their presidency. Interesting factoid: Carter (in one term) created more jobs than both Bushes (12 years) combined! And he created more jobs per year than Reagan). Its dated 1/9/2009, so doesn't have January 2009's numbers (so G.W. Bush creating 3 million jobs is overstated)
