Carter? Job Growth?

The much-maligned Jimmy Carter had one of the highest monthly job growth records, according to blogger Dave Manuel :


From his article:
Cumulative Total of President Gerald Ford (R): +5,178,000 jobs
Average Jobs Per Month: +107,875
Total Number of Months: 48
Cumulative Total of President Jimmy Carter (D): +10,488,000 jobs
Average Jobs Per Month: +218,500
Total Number of Months: 48
Cumulative Total of President Ronald Reagan (R): +15,935,000 jobs
Average Jobs Per Month: +165,989.58
Total Number of Months: 96
Cumulative Total of President George H.W. Bush (R): +2,544,000 jobs
Average Jobs Per Month: +53,000
Total Number of Months: 48
Cumulative Total of President Bill Clinton (D): +23,070,000 jobs
Average Jobs Per Month: +240,312.5
Total Number of Months: 96
Cumulative Total of President George W. Bush (R): +1,843,000 jobs
Average Jobs Per Month: +19,197.92
Total Number of Months: 96


He summarizes:


Breaking it down re: Republican vs Democratic president, 50,780,000 non-farm payroll jobs have been added since 1948 when a Democratic president has been sitting in the White House, vs 35,104,000 nonfarm payroll jobs when a Republican has been sitting in the White House. 
The average number of jobs added per month (322 months total) with a Democratic president has been 157,701, vs 81,259 (432 months) when a Republican has been in the White House. 
Carter?  Who woulda thunk it?  I guess we all have to make sure that don't accept the right-wing propaganda that we've been fed all of these years.

  1. Yes!

    For lots of numbers as interesting as those you have, go to The Sideshow Annex and link to "Just for the Record"; it compiles GAO stats from 1960-2000, during which time we had R presidents for 20 yr. and D pres for 20 yr. It's really, really interesting! and, you won't be surprised, totally illustrates which is the party of fiscal responsibility.
