- QuizzicalCarbon 1y agoThis data is from the Biden administration, predating the current Trump policies.
- CaptWillard 1y agoWell, seeing as this is a record of jobs created last year ... yeah.
- amradio1989 1y agoNot to pile on, but there is a huge public misunderstanding when it comes to economic data. The data is lagging, usually by a full year. The policies that lead to that data are from the year before data collection, at a minimum, more likely two+ years. Economic policies generally take time to ripple through the economy. Generally. There are exceptions. Interest rates tend to affect things pretty quickly relative to other changes.

- amradio1989 1y agoThe period covers March24-March25. Two years prior to March24 is March22. It would have been the 2nd year of Bidens presidency.
