Can we get the links so we can parse this data? Also, do we have job losses under the former GOP, now Maga Cult?

I'd trust Robert Reich use of data and I've added additional data graphs! 👍 bsky.app/profile/rbre... bsky.app/profile/nobo...

These numbers are everywhere. Just do a search on whatever search engine you like it’ll come up. I’m tired of you lazy people who want everybody to give you. Everything do your own work JFC.

Wow. If you want to be taken seriously (even before gen AI) the best way to do that is cite your sources. No laziness about it. It’s called writer’s ethos, and citing shit is what you do when you want to be taken seriously. JFC 😉

I didn't expect this thread to take off, because really, I just wanted to see facts behind the post. Social media really makes talking about facts so difficult, not really because of the nutjobs that show up, but because it's such a limiting medium.

💯 It's not data by your birthday year It's verifiable ..."from 1965 to 2025 what percentage blah blah...from 1980 to 2025 what percentage...etc The author just presented it by age Some people cannot understand statistics even if it's in displayed in a pretty graph LLMs certainly aren't equipped

screenshot of bar graph showing some of this info: Overall job growth has been greater under Democratic presidents Job growth has been notably greater under Democratic presidents than Republican presidents since the early 1980s. Looking at the last seven presidents, job growth totaled over 50 million under Democratic presidents compared to only 17 million under Republican presidents. Most recently, job growth has totaled nearly 16.2 million under the Biden-Harris administration as the U.S. economy has recovered from the pandemic recession. Conversely, there were 2.7 million fewer Americans employed when President Trump left office than at the beginning of his term, making him the first president in the modern era to oversee net job losses. more on link https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/democrats/2024/10/the-u-s-economy-performs-better-under-democratic-presidents

Not surprising. Thanks. Do we have a good overall view of economic damage and wealth transfer to the uber wealthy during republican vs democratic presidencies? Does control of congress correspond to loss/gain or no? I'm asking anyone. :)

News from EPI New report finds that the economy performs better under Democratic presidential administrations Press Releases • April 10, 2024 www.epi.org/press/new-re...

News from EPI New report April 10, 2024 For well over a decade economists and other social scientists have documented a strong advantage in economic performance during Democratic administrations. A new Economic Policy Institute report updates this work to the latest data available and confirms that this Democratic advantage persists. Positive indicators like growth in gross domestic product (GDP), income, and wages are faster, while negative indicators like unemployment, inflation, and interest rates are lower. Further, the fruits of economic growth are distributed substantially more equally under Democratic presidents. In particular, the report finds that since 1949: Annual real GDP growth is 1.2 percentage points faster during Democratic administrations than Republican ones (3.79% versus 2.60%). Total job growth has averaged 2.5% annually during Democratic administrations, while it is barely over 1% annually during Republican administrations. Applied to today’s total workforce, this would imply nearly 2.4 million more jobs created every year under Democratic administrations. The Democratic advantage is even larger in private job growth than it is for total job growth. Notably, business investment is higher during Democratic administrations, with investment growth running at more than double the pace than it does during Republican ones. Average rates of inflation—both overall and “core” measures that exclude volatile food and energy prices—are slightly lower during Democratic administrations. Families in the bottom 20% of the income distribution experience 188% faster income growth during Democratic administrations. The data in this report do not claim to measure the causal effect of partisan White House control on economic performance. more on link https://www.epi.org/press/new-report-finds-that-the-economy-performs-better-under-democratic-presidential-administrations/

Very interesting. I wonder what the compounded loss of the GDP ends up being.
