KEY FACTS


At the highest level, Biden holds a massive advantage over Trump.

The U.S. added about 16 million jobs during Biden’s first 43 months in office, compared to a 2.7 million contraction during Trump’s presidency, according to total nonfarm payrolls, the most-cited measure of total employment which encompasses most American workers.

Similarly the unemployment rate rose 1.7 percentage points from 4.7% to 6.4% under Trump, declining 2.2 percentage points under Biden to the latest reading of 4.2%.
