The Numbers Show Greater Employment Growth Under Biden
Employment growth numbers show more significant growth under Biden, particularly if one uses all four years of Trump’s presidency, which include the first months of the Covid-19 pandemic. Employment declined by 2.1 million—1.7 million fewer U.S.-born workers and 409,731 fewer foreign-born workers—between January 2017 and January 2021 while Donald Trump was president, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Current Population Survey.
Joe Biden has been president (from January 2021 to June 2024), employment grew by 13.4 million—7.9 million for U.S.-born workers and 5.5 million for foreign-born workers.
