To be fair, if you believe presidents have much control over this it's worth pointing out that Obama got claims down to levels last seen in 1975.
Or to be fair if you believe like I do that presidents have little control over this then you will neither praise your teams guy nor demonize the other teams guy.
Of course the vast.majority of outspoken Pat natters are hyper partisan

Meant to say that the vast majority he of outspoken posters are hyper partisan so I do not expect "fairness" either way.

Please post also a curve of the labor participation rate. Okay, I will do it.

The LPR is still at 1978 levels at 63.1%. Trump has not accomplished squat. The FRB has not accomplished squat in terms of jobs, only created more bubbles and asset inflation.

@justme, how quickly we forget. These hyper-partisan nut jobs used to march out the Labor participation rate every time a good jobs report came out (lower unemployment) all throughout Obama’s presidency.
It’s bizarro world
