Claimant: Joe Biden (D)
Claim: His administration created “2.2 million additional jobs” in his final year compared with “185,000 jobs” in the first year of Donald Trump’s second term.
Rating: MISLEADING
Explanation: Revised Bureau of Labor Statistics data show employment increased by about 1.2 million from January 2024 to January 2025, not 2.2 million as claimed. Meanwhile, employment rose by roughly 359,000 during Trump’s first full year back in office, significantly more than the figure cited in the claim.
