For the past twenty years I have been writing articles off and on about the employment situation in this country and, without a doubt, I have never seen numbers as pitiful as the number of jobs created in 2025 by Donald J. Trump.  

In the entire year of 2025 there have only been 584,000 jobs created under the Trump Administration.  That amounts to 48,666 jobs created monthly.  A disgraceful number.

On a comparative basis there were 2,012,000 jobs created in 2024 under the Biden Administration which amounts to 167,666 jobs created monthly.

The nonfarm employment jobs report is created by the Bureau of Labor Statistics each month and following is a table prepared by their site indicating the number of jobs created monthly over the past 10 years.

The only other time in the past 10 years that employment numbers have been so pitiful is the last time Donald J Trump was in office.  During his four-years in office he managed to lose a total of 2,860,000 jobs.  On a comparative basis during the four-years Joseph R Biden was in office he gained 16,394,000 jobs. You may go to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics website to confirm my numbers and or prepare your own tables.

Can this country afford to have this President in charge of US job creation for another three years?
