MarketWatch created the Trump Scoreboard four years ago to keep track of the performance of a president who deemed he alone could fix an unequal American economy. While data from the last three months of 2020 and January are yet to be reported, the information we do have tells the story of an economy that continued to grow steadily under President Trump until a deadly pandemic upended the global economy. Here are a few takeaways.
Until February 2020, job creation had remained relatively consistent with the previous three years. Jobs added totaled 6.8 million between February 2017 and February 2020. During the previous three years under President Obama, more than eight million jobs were added. By comparison, the median monthly increase in jobs was 61,000 under George W. Bush and 252,000 under President Bill Clinton.
Just like with jobs, median changes in wages give a better indication of Trump’s first three years. Median wages grew 3.3%, on par with the Bush presidency. Median wage growth during Obama’s two terms in office was about 2.2%, about one percentage point lower.
