Original Note:
The graph is statistically accurate but contextually misleading as it ignores the impact of the massive & temporary COVID-driven job losses (Trump) & recovery (Biden). Displaying by month is also a mathematical trick to make Biden’s bar appear even larger by comparison. https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/07/politics/fact-check-president-biden-state-of-the-union/index.html#:~:text=important%20to%20note%20that%20Biden%20took,very%20difficult https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2023/feb/07/joe-biden/joe-bidens-boast-about-job-creation-needs-some-ast/#:~:text=Biden's%20boast,some%20asterisks https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CES0000000001
