Les Bons Temps Roule

The Washington Examiner reports excellent news for the campaign to reelect President Trump.

President Trump starts off 2020 having presided over a lower average unemployment rate than any president at a comparable point in office in recorded history.

On Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the unemployment rate held steady at a historically low 3.5% in December. Since February 2017, Trump's first full month in office, the monthly unemployment rate has averaged 3.9%

Modern unemployment statistics did not start being kept until 1948, after Harry Truman's first 35 months in office, so this analysis only starts with Eisenhower.

What would it take for Americans to vote against a continuation of what are, by any realistic standard, good times? As they say in New Orleans, “let ‘em roll.”
