Fact Check: Did government jobs rise while real jobs fell under Biden?

Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) publishes daily vetted fact checks from IFCN-approved sources. Each claim is independently reviewed for accuracy and context.

Claimant: Donald Trump (R)

Claim: “Government jobs were going up, real jobs were going down” under Biden.

Rating: BLATANT LIE

Explanation: FactCheck.org found that private-sector jobs increased every year during Biden’s presidency, rising by 14.3 million (11.8%). Government jobs also rose, but at a slower pace (8.3%). Trump’s statement reverses the real trend entirely and is not supported by employment data.
