Pretty good for a president who inherited a deadly global pandemic with no vaccine and then had to deal with the Ukraine war and all that it did to wreak havoc on the global economy all the while being saddled with a do-nothing House of Representatives that tried to shackle him at every turn. Good job, Joe!

According to the US Dept. of Labor and YOUR FIRST LINK, all of the following are reported as true; The unemployment rate stayed the same, the number of job openings (vacancies) changed very little, long-term unemployment changed little, the labor participation rate stayed the same, the employment-population ratio changed little and the number of unemployed wanting a job changed little.
To put those in laymen terms, new jobs were created but the number of people working stayed changed very little. If people were leaving their existing job for a better paying job, the Dept. of Labor would not have reported the number of vacancies increased little in January. Since they didn't report a significant increase in vacancies. their old job was not open...someone was working in that position. However, the unemployment rate stayed the same...that means nobody that was unemployed took the job.
There was a vaccine.maineman » 02 Feb 2024, 11:39 am » wrote: ↑ When the electorate decided to start ridin' with Biden and ditch the clown in November of 2020, there was no vaccine. That's a fact.
Interesting that you had no comment on all the good economic news. You'd think every patriotic America would cheer when the economy was doing well, and give credit where credit is due!
Who the hell ever told you that the criteria for poverty in the US was the percentage of people living on less than $5.50 a day?
America's poverty rate soared last year. Children were among the worst hit.
AP By Aimee Picchi September 12, 2023
Millions of American families fell into poverty last year as the well of government-funded pandemic aid dried up and incomes shrank, according to new data from the U.S. Census. Children were particularly hard-hit, with the poverty rate for kids doubling compared with 2021. The surge in poverty is "stunning," Sharon Parrott, president of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, said in a statement. Parrott pointed to the end of the expanded federal Child Tax Credit in 2022 as a cause of the sharp increase in child poverty and called for lawmakers to reinstate the benefit. The rise in poverty amounts to an increase of 15.3 million people around the U.S. living in poverty, according to the left-leaning think tank.Biggest poverty increase in over half a centuryThe latest Census data underscores the dichotomy of the post-pandemic economy, which has been marked by a strong job market yet also rising inflation that's hobbled many households. Last year also marked the end of all pandemic-era benefits that helped families stay afloat during the health crisis, such as stimulus checks and the Child Tax Credit, which distributed as much as $300 per child in cash payments. "The rise in the poverty rate, the largest on record in over 50 years both overall and for children, underscores the critical role that policy choices play in the level of poverty and hardship in the country," Parrot said. The Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM), which measures whether people have enough resources to cover their needs, was 12.4% for U.S. households in 2022, an increase of 4.6 percentage points from a year earlier, the Census said on Tuesday. The child poverty rate, as measured by the SPM, jumped from a historic low of 5.2% in 2021 to 12.4% in 2022, the Census said. That's the largest change in child poverty since the Census began tracking the SPM in 2009, Census officials said.
Americans earning less
U.S. households also earned less last year, the Census said. The median household income in 2022 was $74,580, a decline of 2.3% from 2021 and the third year in a row that incomes have dipped.
"These are statistically significant declines," Rob Wilson, president of Employco USA and an employment trends expert, said in an email. "While many people rushed to defend the 2020 decline as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the fact that Americans' incomes are still declining even now is very concerning."
OK, so it hasn't been the worst inflation ever in US history, it's only been the worst this country has suffered through FOR THE LAST 43 **** YEARS!
So why can't you point them out like you did with the others!
err small problem ... after 3 years of inflation food still cost 33% more today than it did 3 years ago ...Bidencrimefamily » 02 Feb 2024, 11:49 am » wrote: ↑ That Biden economy beats estimates again by double.
Only because morons like you think it's perfectly acceptable for the Democratic president to force businesses and schools to close for a year or more, then get to count those workers as getting "new jobs" when they were finally permitted to go back to work!

Here in the US, we couldn't care less about a comparison to countries the size of Latvia, Croatia, Uruguay, Malta, or Estonia, as your useless list is counting?
Here in the US we use something called the US CENSUS BUREAU to determine the poverty rates OF AMERICANS, NOT of miniscule countries around the world.
So try to stay on point, dickhead! We're comparing the poverty rates IN THE US BETWEEN DIFFERENT ADMINISTRATIONS!
And if you can't keep up, do us all a favor and wait until the next time we're discussing Biden's favorite ice cream flavor, OK?
You're probably much better versed in that area.
