"There have been eight times more jobs created in the last 3.5 years than the last three Republican administrations combined. Combined. Yes, that's a fact." Newsom's statement highlights that under President Biden's administration, 16.1 million jobs were created since January 2021, surpassing the job creation by Trump, George W. Bush, and George H. W. Bush combined, which totaled only 1.3 million jobs when ignoring historical adjustments that include Reagan's administration.
"We currently have the lowest Black unemployment rate." However, this claim was fact-checked and found to be inaccurate. The Black unemployment rate was reported at 5.7% in September 2023, while it was as low as 4.8% in April 2023, proving that under Biden, black unemployment rates fluctuated and did not consistently hit record lows.
In analyzing job creation over multiple presidential terms, Newsom asserts that Biden's term has drastically increased job numbers, particularly contrasted with the job losses experienced during Trump's presidency due to the COVID-19 pandemic, thereby framing Biden's economic strategies as significantly effective.
Despite Newsom's assertions regarding job growth and unemployment metrics, the fact-check confirms that while job creation has surged under Biden, some claims do not accurately reflect the entirety of historical data or current statistics pertaining to unemployment rates.
