- Job creation was slower in Trump's first 35 months (6.2 million) than Obama's last 35 months (8.0 million),[1] including a substantial 501,000 downward revision for the April 2018 to March 2019 period.[2][3][4]
- The unemployment rate fell from 10.0% in October 2009 to 4.7% by December 2016 at the end of the Obama Administration, a total of 5.3 percentage points. It then fell to 3.5% by November 2019, another 1.2 percentage points.[5]
- The budget deficit increased significantly as a percent of GDP and in dollar terms under President Trump, rising from 3.2% GDP and $585 billion in fiscal year 2016 at the end of the Obama Administration, to $984 billion and 4.7% GDP by fiscal year 2019.[6][7][4]
- The number of persons without health insurance (i.e., uninsured) rose from 28.2 million in 2016 to 30.1 million in 2018, an increase of 1.9 million or 7%. President Trump's first year (2017) was the first year with an increase in uninsured since 2010.[8]
- The stock market (measured by the S&P 500 index) increased cumulatively by 44.6% measured late in December 2019 (Trump's first 3 years) versus 52.9% in Obama's first 3 years. While Obama's performance represents a recovery from a deep recession, President Trump cut corporate income taxes by about one-third, boosting the stock market in his first term.[9]
- Real (inflation-adjusted) wages grew faster from 2014-2016 under Obama (1.3% per year on average) versus 0.8% for 2017-2019 under President Trump.[10][3]
