Bush On Jobs: The Worst Track Record On Record President George W. Bush entered office in 2001 just as a recession was starting, and is preparing to leave in the middle of a long one. That’s almost 22 months of recession during his 96 months in office. His job-creation record won’t look much better. The Bush administration created about three million jobs (net) over its eight years, a fraction of the 23 million jobs created under President Bill Clinton’s administration and only slightly better than President George H.W. Bush did in his four years in office. Here’s a look at job creation under each president since the Labor Department started keeping payroll records in 1939. The counts are based on total payrolls between the start of the month the president took office (using the final payroll count for the end of the prior December) and his final December in office. George W. Bush -------3.0 million Bill Clinton ------------23.1 million George H.W. Bush ----2.5 million Ronald Reagan -------16.0 million Jimmy Carter ---------10.5 million Gerald Ford -------------1.8 million Richard Nixon ----------9.4 million Lyndon Johnson ------11.9 million John F. Kennedy -------3.6 million Dwight Eisenhower ----3.5 million Harry Truman ----------8.4 million blogs.wsj.com.
