That represents a total gain of 93,000 jobs over the past 8 months, which is an average of just 11,625 jobs per month.

Since Trump took office in January, total job gain has been 473,000, an average of 43,000 per month. As a comparison, the final 11 months of the Biden administration saw a gain of 1,782,000 jobs, an average of 162,000 per month. So in just 11 months of Trump, average monthly job growth has fallen by about 75%.
