During his first speech to the U.N. General Assembly, the president took credit for “creating job growth the likes of which our country has not seen in a very long time.” That’s wrong.I'm losing track of the lies of this guy. Was that lie number 100,229,922 or was it more?
In fact, the nation has now experienced positive job growth for 83 straight months, dating to early 2010, and job gains have been fewer in the first seven months under Trump than they were during the same time frame in each of the previous four years, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The economy added 1,189,000 net new jobs since Trump took office in January. That’s slightly fewer than the 1,375,000 jobs added in the preceding seven months.
It’s also fewer jobs than were added during the same time period of 2016 (1,422,000), 2015 (1,547,000), 2014 (1,734,000) and 2013 (1,384,000).
