how convenient your chart starts in 2013.
https://www.msnbc.com/sites/msnbc/files/styles/embedded_image/public/5.3.19.pngthe post-recession meltdown of the labor market was over by early 2010, yet it took until 2013 before job growth became steady at a high level.
yes, Obama inherited a stuttering economic engine from Bush, but it still took him a full 4 fucking years to get it going smoothly again.
and, as others have pointed out, the obama economy was mostly adding shitty gig jobs, while the fact that Trump's business friendly policies extended the economic cycle allowed the labor market to tighten further, to the point where better jobs are created.
It was the biggest crash since 1929. That crash took a decade to recover from. Since democrats have been the only ones to recover from big crashes after Republican administrations republicans don't really have much to say in the matter.
Their criticisms are literally worth a warm bucket of piss. Conservatives can minimize this feat all they want but the truth is they never faced anything like this. They tend to be the leaders leading up to these recessions. We will be in a small one within two years. It is just their place to bring the pendulum back after growth to keep things sustainable...I do not mean this to be too derogatory.
You show a graph, see a Republican president completely shit the bed, and criticize the Democrat for not wiping his ass fast enough. That is my criticism of you. You lack objectivity.

If I'm looking at that graph I would say it was "steady at a high level" post 2011.
Feel free to post statistics supporting your other claim about the gig jobs.
A linear regression line would be flat.
