Obama came in with Civilian Employment numbers at 59.3% and left at 59.7%
That is + 0.4% over 8 years
Trump came is at 59.7% and we are at 61.2%
That is + 0.5% over 3 years
That comes out to a job creation rate that is 333% of Obamas per year

Obama used Disability, welfare roles, government jobs and other methods to take people off the unemployment roles. Many people were also forced into early retirement because they could not find work under Obama.
Then when you look at the growth in average income being a 13 times higher rate under Trump than under Obama, so you can easily speculate that Trump jobs are higher quality jobs than Obama jobs.
Jobs created is a bogus stat. That is a number used when they don't like the other numbers. It can one person being given a job for life or just short term employment changes.
Unemployment stats never make much sense when you look at employment because it only counts those that say they want to work. How many times did I have to hear "can you just sign my form".
We still have about 3% of the public that are slugs and should be working to get back to the Clinton and Reagan employment years.
The BabyBoomer shift is a farce as an excuse because we moved the retirement age to equate to that shift. When I looked at the population shift from those years, it matched the number of years they shifted the retirement ages.
Some will claim that baby boomers are retiring
