It's important to bear in mind that Trump's naysayers said - this would *NOT* happen.

So either they were wrong or - as people often point out - it's possible that Presidents don't change it much.
And if that is true then Obama doesn't get credit either.

As much as I would like to believe these numbers, it is hard to. There have changes in calculating methodology. And more changes and more changes. That change in methodology means that ANY comparison of unemployment between unemployment rates with any year prior to 2018 is just a meaningless exercise in story telling. Furthermore with a workforce participation rate of only 62% the U-3 number is just a farce. And, if there are really an increase in jobs, those jobs are spinning-their-wheels type jobs that pay little with no benefits, low hours, and no chance of advancement.
