With that in mind, Bill Clinton created the most number of jobs (21.5 million) during his term. Barack Obama is second, creating 17.2 million jobs from the beginning to the end of his term. But Obama created 22.3 million jobs from the worst part of the Great Recession (January 2010) through the end of his term. Unemployment continued to rise even after the recession ended in July 2009. That's typical. Some companies continue to shed workers even after the economy turns around. They want to make sure the recession is truly over before they start hiring again. Lyndon B. Johnson added the most jobs percentage-wise (20.7 percent) during his two terms. Franklin Roosevelt created the most percentage-wise (32.7 percent) since the depths of the Great Depression. But, it's not fair to use that because he was in office for more than two terms. A president's record at job creation depends somewhat on the business cycle. For example, those who inherited a recession, like Clinton, Obama, Reagan, Carter and LBJ, did better at job creation. They started with a low base, and so had nowhere to go but up. Those that created recessions, like both Bushes, Nixon, and Eisenhower, did the worst.
