During Pres. Obama's administration 11 million new private sector jobs have been created which is nearly 10 times the number created during the last 2 GOP presidencies COMBINED. During Pres. Clinton's administration, nearly TWICE as many private sector jobs were created as during Obama's.
The score:
last 2 Dem presidents - 32,000,000 private sector jobs;
last 2 GOP presidents - 1,000,000 private sector jobs.
Going back to the end of World War 2 - Sept., 1945, when Japan surrendered – the period consists of 35 years of Dem presidents and 36 years of Republicans, evenly interspersed. The results are clear:
64,000,000 private sector jobs under Dem presidents
26,000,000 private sector jobs under Republicans
Only Republican Pres. Reagan created more than 10,000,000 jobs, while Democrats Truman, JFK/LBJ, Clinton and Obama all surpassed that number and Carter hit 9,000,000 private sector jobs in just 4 years. fred.stlouisfed.org/...
Republicans Killed Manufacturing Jobs
Under Republican Pres. George W. Bush, manufacturing employment dropped by 27%, the absolute worst record by far of any president since the end of WW2. Manufacturing employment under his father, Pres. George H.W. Bush, also decreased 7%. Every GOP president over the past 50 years has destroyed manufacturing employment in the U.S. The data are incontrovertible.

Anyone who knows the facts understands that Republican “trickle down” economic policy, i.e., tax cuts for corporations and millionaires, has not created jobs. Republican “deregulation” of business has only created chaos in markets causing recessions and job losses as we witnessed during the Great Recession that was caused by Wall Street fraud.
Don’t get fooled again by empty Republican promises about jobs. They just don’t work.
