Assessing Claims About Job Growth Under Joe Biden

With the Biden administration now days away from handing over the White House keys to President-elect Donald Trump, supporters of the president have taken to social media to tout job growth during his four-year term. 

Guy Kawasaki, an author and former tech industry venture capitalist, claimed that the number of jobs created under the Biden administration totaled more than under the previous three presidential administrations combined. “Joe Biden’s administration helped to create 16.6 million jobs,” Kawasaki shared on Threads, BlueSky, and LinkedIn. “More than the administrations of Trump, Obama, and George W. [Bush.] Remember 16.6 million four years from now.”
