Donald Trump has complained that the Biden administration has been a disaster. A review of some facts may shed light on whether we are better off now than four years ago.
When Trump left office at the end of 2020, the Dow was at 30,000, today under Joe Biden it is at 40,000. Unemployment in December 2020 was at 6.7 percent with 10.7 million unemployed. Under Biden the unemployment rate has dropped to 3.9 percent with 6.5 million unemployed. The average annual wage in 2020 was around $53,000, today it is around $59,000.
Trump wants us to return him to the White House, can we afford to make such a mistake?
