The US economy has gained 6.6 million jobs during Trump's first 36 months in office. But in a comparable 36-month period at the end of Obama's tenure, employers added 8.1 million jobs.
During Obama's last 36 months in office, the average monthly gain was 224,000 jobs. Under Trump so far, employers have been adding an average of 182,000 jobs a month.
The gross domestic product figures haven't hit over 4% economic growth on a quarterly basis during Trump's time in office. Trump's 2018 yearly growth of 2.9% matched Obama's 2015 figure, but on both a quarterly and annual basis, the Trump economy has not yet exceeded the best quarters of the Obama years.
The US economy in 2019 grew at 2.3%, its slowest pace in three years, according to number released by the Commerce Department last month.
