(9,083 posts)35. In Biden's 4 years (48 months) there was only 1 month where job growth
was less than this months reported 64,000 (that was October 2024 at 44,000). The average monthly gain under Biden was 336,000. Under Trump, the average so far this year is under 50,000 per month, and since April under 15,000. The maximum monthly growth this year was 158,000 in March. Biden beat that mark 35 out of 48 months and equaled it in one other month (and had yet another month only 1,000 off at 157,000).
